In The Belly Of The Whale lyrics

Up to my ears

In bitter tears.

Can`t believe I`ve sunk this low

As I walk the plankton

Inner sanctum.

Got outta Dodge,

Sailed on a bon-less

Bon voyage.

You said North,

I headed South.

Tossed overboard.

Good Lord, that`s a really large mouth...



I`m sleeping with fishes here,

In the belly of the whale.

I`m highly nutritious here,

In the belly of the whale.

Bad food, lousy atmosphere.

I don`t wanna bellyache.

How long is this gonna take?



Woke up this morning kinda blue,

Thinking through that age-old question:

How to exit a whale`s digestion?

It might behoove me to be heaved.

Head out like a human comet.

Hmmm... I wonder what rhymes with comet.



I`m sleeping with fishes here,

In the belly of the whale.

I`m highly nutritious here,

In the belly of the whale.

I`m ready to reappear.

I don`t wanna bellyache.

Lord, how long`s this gonna take?



End times, they come rolling around.

Enzymes, they come breaking us down to the core.

The good Lord grants we all get a second chance.



I`m one of the dishes here,

In the belly of the whale.

They say I`m delicious here,

In the belly of the whale.

Lord, please make him chuck it all.

It`s a gut call

In the belly of the whale.



I`m in the belly of the whale.

In the belly of the whale.

I`m in the belly.

In the belly of the whale.

I`m in the belly of the whale.

In the belly of the whale.

I`m in the belly...



In the belly of the whale

In an underwater jail

It`s a tight squeeze.

It`s a-gettin` to me,

But it`s roomier

Than the tail.

Hey, sailor,

Got my flow free

Like a salmon to the sea

From the L.A. Symphony.

I`m a paddleboat

Paddlin` in their wake,

A fake free-styler,

But my unemployment pays.

I`m avoiding cliches

Like `whale of a tale` say

Or `you can`t keep

A good man down,`

`Cause you can

And I`ve been there, man.

But I`ve been expectorated.

I`m elated!

I`m free like Willie!

Happy Day!

Oops,

That`s a bit of a cliche.



In the belly...
