Newsboys - In The Belly Of The Whale lyrics
Your rating:
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 behove me to be heaved Head out like a human comet. "Hey guys you might not wanna rhyme 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-getting 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 paddle boat Paddling in their wake, A fake free-styler, But my unemployment pays I'm avoiding cliches Like "whale of a tale" stale 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
