Starving in the Belly of a Whale lyrics

Life is whittled

Life's a riddle;

Man's a fiddle

That life plays on

When the day breaks

And the earth quakes;

Life's a mistake

All day long

You tell me:

Who gives a good goddamn

You'll never get out alive

Don't go dreaming; don't go scheming

A man must test his mettle

In a crooked old world

Starving in the Belly

Starving in the Belly

Starving in the Belly of a Whale

Oh, you're starving in the Belly

Starving in the Belly

Starving in the Belly of a Whale

Don't take my word

Just look skyward

They that dance must pay the fiddler

Sky is darkening

Dogs are barking

But the caravan moves on

You tell me:

Who gives a good goddamn

You'll never get out alive

Don't go dreaming; don't go scheming

A man must test his mettle

In a crooked old world

Starving in the Belly

Starving in the Belly

Starving in the Belly of a Whale

Oh, we're starving in the Belly

Starving in the Belly

Starving in the Belly of a Whale

As the crow flies

It's there the truth lies

At the bottom of the well

E-o-leven goes to heaven

Bless the dead here as the rain falls

Don't trust a bull's horn

A Doberman's tooth

A runaway horse or me

Don't be greedy, don't be needy

If you live in hope you're

Dancing to a terrible tune

Starving in the Belly

Starving in the Belly

Starving in the Belly of a Whale

You're starving in the Belly

Starving in the Belly

Starving in the Belly of a Whale
