Newsboys - 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Newsboys

In the 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
(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 my 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 cliché

In the belly of the whale (in my belly)
I'm in the belly
In the belly of the whale (in my belly)
I'm in the belly of the whale (in my belly of the whale)
In the belly of the whale...
