Newsboys Lyrics

Newsboys

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.
Hmmm... 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" say
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...
