night of the lotus eaters

• dig lazarus dig albümünün en iyi şarkılarından biri, oldukça ilginç.
  
  sapped and stupid i lie upon the stones and i swoons
  the darlig 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
  
  mmm, don't you love my baby
  mmm, and 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 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
  
  mmm, don't you love my baby
  mmm, and 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
  
  now hit the streets!
  
  now hit the streets!
