Aphrodisiac Jacket Lyrics
Sittin' on a mountain
Looking at the sun
Plastic fantastic
Lobster telephone
Drive on baby thru the electric nite
All the way sister in the taxi of life
Cookin' in the kitchen
Insects on the bone
Hazy lazy
Dream world drippin' on
Waitin' for a time bomb
Tick tick tick away
Somethin' on the radio
Drip drip drip all day
Drive on baby thru the electric nite
All the way sister in the taxi of light
The sunshine glows but nobody knows
The night-time's gone keep drivin' on
Aphrodisiac jacket
Napoleon machine-gun
Livin' on a subway
From dusk till dawn
[Solo]
Sittin' on a mountain
Looking at the sun
Plastic fantastic
Lobster telephone
Drive on baby thru the electric night
All the way sister in the taxi of light
The sunshine glows but nobody knows
The night-time's gone keep drivin' on
Looking at the sun
Plastic fantastic
Lobster telephone
All the way sister in the taxi of life
Insects on the bone
Hazy lazy
Dream world drippin' on
Waitin' for a time bomb
Tick tick tick away
Somethin' on the radio
Drip drip drip all day
All the way sister in the taxi of light
The sunshine glows but nobody knows
The night-time's gone keep drivin' on
Napoleon machine-gun
Livin' on a subway
From dusk till dawn
Looking at the sun
Plastic fantastic
Lobster telephone
All the way sister in the taxi of light
The sunshine glows but nobody knows
The night-time's gone keep drivin' on

An Aphrodisiac Jacket is a smoking jacket with little glasses of booze attached all over it. It was created by Salvador Dali.
Not sure of the meaning, but this song rocks! So, I thought it desrved at least 1 comment. Love The Cult!
I agree it rocks, but it has some odd lyrics, can it possibly be anything more than attempt at cool imagery. Lobster telephone??? Napoleon machine-gun possible at attempt at anachronisms to be ironic?? Aphrodisiac Jacket, I thought could be a condom but cannot see much sexiness beyond this
It is intended to be surreal as it pays homage to Salvador Dali. Dali had a certain fascination with Napoleon. He included him in several of his painting and once stated that his ambition at age seven was to be Napoleon.

Maybe it's just about imagery and liking the words.
I guess I want the song to have some great meaning, but I guess it is like a Duran Duran or a Beck song and just has some cool sounding words but in the end is just nonsense- but this song does rock
