Night of the Lotus Eaters - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (尼克凯夫与坏种子合唱团)

Written by：Warren Lee Ellis/Nicholas Edward Cave

Sapped and stupid

I lie upon the stones and I swoons

Darling little dandelions done their thing

They've changed from suns into moons

The dragons roam the shopping malls

I hear they're gonna eat our guts

If I had the strength I might pick up my sword

And make some attempt to resist

Get ready to shield yourself

Grab your sap and your heaters

Get ready to shield yourself

On the night of the lotus eaters

Hmm don't you love my baby

Hmm don't you love my baby anymore

They gilded my scales they fish bowled me

And they toured me round the old aquariums

They come in their hordes to tap at the glass

The philistines and the barbarians

I like floating here it's nice

They've hung seaweed around my hips

And I do the hula for the hungry ones

With the lames all throw me tips

Get ready to shield yourself

Grab your sap and your heaters

Get ready to shield yourself

On the night of the lotus eaters

Hmm don't you love my baby

Hmm don't you love my baby anymore

Get ready to shield yourself

From our catastrophic leaders

Get ready to shield yourself

Grab your sap and your heaters

On the night of the lotus eaters

On the night of the lotus eaters

And now hit the streets

Now hit the streets
