"Night Of The Lotus Eaters"

Sapped & stupid
I lie upon the stones and I swoons
the darling little dandeluons have done their thing
and 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 yoursef!
on the night of the lotus eaters
mmmm don't you love my baby
mmmm & don't you love by baby anymore
they gilded my scales/ they fish-bowled me
and they toured me round the old awariums
they come in their hordes to tap at the glass
the philistined and barbarians
I like floating here (it's nice)
they've hung seaweed round my hips
and I do the for the hungry ones
and the lames all throw me tups
get ready to shield yourself!
grab your sap&your heaters
get ready to shield yourself!
on the night of the lotus eaters
mmm don't you love my baby
mmm & don't you love my baby abymore
get ready to shield yourself!
from our catastrophic leaders
get ready to shield yourself!
grab your sape&your heaters
on the night of the lotus eaters
now hit the streets!
now HIT the streets!!
