Newsboys - In The Belly Of A Whale lyrics

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 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 LA 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
