Eat The Lotus

Eat the lotus now baby
Eat the lotus tonight
Eat the lotus now baby
Eat the lotus tonight

When you’re three hundred K’s from home
And you’re missing your sweet lady
You got heart that’s stretched around a wheel
But you don’t want to keep her waiting

Eat the lotus now baby
Eat the lotus tonight
Eat the lotus now baby
Eat the lotus tonight

It’s a mellow fruit honey sweet
And just what you know I need
Unscrew the bulb put the head on the door
Put your mind where your mouth is

Eat the lotus now baby
Eat the lotus tonight
Eat the lotus now baby
Eat the lotus tonight

Eat the lotus now baby
Eat the lotus tonight
Eat the lotus now baby
Eat the lotus tonight

Fellas do you know why I left
I’m still trying to remember
My sweet mother’s face appears
Apparеntly she’s somewherе near here
Gimme that leaf
That sweet relief
Again and again and again

Eat the lotus
Eat the lotus
Eat
Eat the lotus

She saved me once you know
Blood soaked the back of my hair
I was thrown against the wall
And a gun against my temple
She had a knife across his throat
That’s the war baby

Eat the lotus
Eat the lotus
Eat
Eat the lotus

And now hey I am pouring out of my skin
And I am a puddle
And the golden curtains yellow
The greens gave the blues my hand
And it’s got me on my knees in the sand
And it's pouring on my face and in my eyes and in my hair

Eat the lotus
Eat the lotus
Eat
Eat the lotus

She rubs me oil sleek with her braided tresses dangle gravy
Eat
Eat the lotus
Ease into the harbour with the pallor of vigour
Eat
Eat the lotus
She tame tiger mount my bed she cryer
Eat
Eat the lotus

Eat the lotus
Eat the lotus
Eat
Eat the lotus

And my companions on the journey
They stick their noses in the trough
And there’s squabbling
And there’s squealing
And there’s rolling in the mud
And my mighty sword is gleaming
And cuts down her magic wand

Eat the lotus
Eat the lotus
Eat
Eat the lotus

Woke in the afternoon
Velvet curtains
Crystal wine glass
Sandpaper mouth
I don’t recognise the room
But I remember what happened here
And I know she does too
My my braided lover
Commands me to kiss her with my lotus mouth

I had fun now woman
From what I remember
I had fun now woman
From the the things I remember
But now me and the devil walk side by side
Just to do what I came here for

She said baby you ate the lotus
Did it help you find your way
Baby you ate the lotus
Sometimes that helps you find your way
But all I had jackhammer in my head
And the kind of aching sadness
That I knew was here to stay

Eat the lotus now baby
Eat the lotus tonight
Eat the lotus now baby
Eat the lotus tonight
Eat the lotus now baby
Eat the lotus tonight
Eat the lotus now baby
Eat the lotus tonight
