lyrics

THE BELLY AND THE BEAST

Ears of wax in the blind man’s heart
was it on the cards?
he sees the wait, he hears the gate
he doesn’t want you on his plate

Deaf for your knock-knock-knocking at the door
where you lose count, and more
his trained brains beat about the bush
you can hear his mighty pencil push

There is no rest in the fish-eyed chest
safe behind the desk
he’s throwing-up, he’s throwing-out
in good taste, on his roundabout

He makes a meal of letting you wait
you hang on hang on hang on like bait
you’re out-of-sight, you’re out-of-mind
a close encounter of the very unkind

What you’re gonna do now, when the fishy chips are down
what you’re gonna do now, drown? drown?
or will it be a journey... a journey to the belly...
the belly of the neigbour... the neighbour of the beast?

Destination 667
or was it 665
don’t be too sure it’s next to heaven
god’s mercy, too, has proved a lie

Sometimes the truth is hard to swallow
sometimes promises are hollow
oh it’s so easy to get cheesed
and find yourself back
in the back in the belly of the beast

What you’re gonna do?
now now now drown drow drown?
what you’re gonna do now?
