Bilingual
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
ย
Get ready to shield yourself
On the night of the lotus eaters
Mmmmm, don't you love me baby
ย
Mmmmm, and don't you love me my baby anymore
ย
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
ย
Get ready to shield yourself
On the night of the lotus eaters
Mmmmm, don't you love me baby
ย
Mmmmm, and don't you love me my baby anymore
Get ready to shield yourself
From our catastrophic leaders
ย
Get ready to shield yourself
Grab your sap and your heaters
On the night of the lotus eaters
ย
Now hit the streets
ย
Now hit the streets
ย
