In The Belly Of A Whale

Newsboys

5

Up to my ears in bitter tears

Can't believe I've sunk this low

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

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-gettin' to me

But it's roomier

Than the tail

Hey sailor

Got my flow free

Like a salmon to the sea

From the LA 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 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

In the belly
