In The Belly Of The Whale (by Newsboys For Jonah)
Up to my ears in bitter tears, I 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, thats a really large mouth.... I'm sleepin 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 belly
ache... How long is this gonna take? Woke up this morning kind of
blue, Thinking through that age-old question: How to exit a whales
digestion? It might behoove me to be heaved, Head out like a human
comet..... Larry: Guys...you might not want to rhyme with comet! I'm
sleepin 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 belly ache, 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, 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 of the whale, In
the belly of the whale, I'm in the belly. In the belly of the
whale, In and 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 a "whale of a tale" Or "you can't keep a
good man down" 'Cause you can and I been there, man. But I've been
expectorated, I'm elated! I'm free like Willie! Happy
Day! Oops..... Thats a bit of a cliche.
