Sapped & 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
And grab your sap and your heater
Get ready to shield yourself
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 aquariums
They come in their hordes to tap at the glass
The Philistines and Barbarians
I like floating here (it's nice)
They've hung seaweed round my hips
And I do the hoola for the hungry ones
And the lames all throw me tulips
Get ready to shield yourself
Grab your sap & your heater
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 anymore
Get ready to shield yourself!
From our catastrophic leaders
Get ready to shield yourself!
Grab your sap & your heater
On the night of the lotus eaters
On the night of the lotus eaters
Now hit the streets!
Now hit the streets!!
