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
