Karaoké In The Belly Of The Whale Newsboys

Up to my ears in bitter tears can't believe I've sunk this low

As I walk the plankton inner sanctum

Got out of 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

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

In the belly of the whale in the belly of the whale in the belly of the whale

In the belly in the belly of the whale

I'm 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 a whale of a tale sailor you can't keep a good

Man down 'cos you can't and I 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

In the belly on the belly
