Sapped and stupid I lie upon the stones and I swoons
The darling little dandelions 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 yourself Grab your sap and your heaters Get ready to shield yourself On the night of the lotus eaters
Mmmmm, don't you love me baby Mmmmm, and don't you love me 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 And 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
Mmmmm, don't you love me baby Mmmmm, and don't you love me 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
