Belly of the Whale

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 behoove me to be heaved.

Head out like a human comet.

Hmm... I wonder what rhymes 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 L.A. 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...
