[Intro]
...Song called Lotus, and- uh- it's- uh- brand-new
Hey, hey
I ate the Lotus
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[Verse 1]
I was hell, sarcastic silver swell
That day it rained
Tough spun, hard won, no
Ocean flower aquarium
Badlands, give a hand
Honey dip, flim-flam
Hey hey, hey hey
That cat can walk like a big bad man
[Chorus]
So happy to show us (Happy to show us)
Oh, I ate the lotus (I ate the lotus)
Say, haven't you noticed? (Haven't you noticed?)
Oh oh, well, I ate the lotus
[Verse 2]
Storefront window, I reflect
Just last week I was merely heck
Tip the scalе, I was hell
It picked me up, thеn I fell
Who's this stranger? Crowbar spine
Dot, dot, dot, and I feel fine
Let it rain, rain, rain
Bring my happy back again
[Chorus]
So happy to show us (Happy to show us)
Oh, I ate the lotus (I ate the lotus)
Say, haven't you noticed? (Haven't you noticed?)
Oh oh oh, I ate the lotus (I ate the lotus)
Oh oh oh, I ate the lotus
[Verse 3]
Let it rain, rain, rain
Save me from myself again
Wash away my ugly sins
Opposing thumb, dorsal fin
That monkey died for my grin (Da, da-da)
Bring my happy back again (Da, da-da)
Let it rain, rain, rain (Da, da-da)
Bring my happy back again (Da, da-da)
[Chorus]
So happy to show us (Happy to show us)
Oh, I ate the lotus (I ate the lotus)
Say, haven't you noticed? (Haven't you noticed?)
Oh oh, well, I ate the lotus (I ate the lotus)
Oh oh oh, well, I ate the lotus (I ate the lotus)
Oh, I ate the lotus (I ate the lotus)
Oh oh, I ate the lotus (I ate the lotus)
[Outro]
That's all
Huh... huh... huh...
I'm ready for some Indian food
But first, we'll play a couple more songs
