I am the Lotus Eater
I like to taste something a little sweeter

I’ll chew your petals fine
Gotta rush now, ain’t got no time to dine

I’ll help you pollinate
I’ll buzz around while you arpeggiate

Slide down my eager throat
I’ll be your captain if you be my boat

Chorus
Welcome to my island
We’ll even take your shy friend
And if your face proves true
You can eat a Lotus too

Here you can’t be alone
That’s something we do not condone
But if you try to fight the power
We’re gonna have to open your flower

I’d like to feel your stem
But if you don’t like my touch I hope you don’t condemn

You’ll grow to be so fine
And if your coal gets too deep you can surely strip mine

I’ll take away your stigma
So when you start to bud you will still be an enigma

Your soil is so moist
When the lotus Eaters saw you they certainly rejoiced
