Lyrics:

Life is whittled

Life's a riddle

Man's a fiddle that life plays on



When the day breaks, and the earth quakes

Life's a mistake all day long

You tell me, who gives a good gooddamn

You'll never get out alive



Don't go dreaming

Don't go scheming

A man must test his mettle

In a crooked ol' world



[Chorus:]

Starving in the Belly

Starving in the Belly

Starving in the Belly of a whale

Starving in the Belly

Starving in the Belly

Starving in the Belly of a whale



Dan't take my word

Just look skyward

They that dance must pay the fiddler

Sky is darkening

Dogs are barking

But the caravan moves on



Tell me who gives a good gooddamn

You'll never get get out alive

Don't go dreaming

Don't go scheming

A man must test his mettle

In crooked ol' world

Starving in the Belly...



[Chorus]



As the crow flies

It's there the truth lies

At the bottom of the well

E-o-leven goes to heaven

Bless the dead here as the rain falls

Don't trust a bull's horn

A doberman's tooth

A runaway horse or me



Don't be greedy, don't be needy

If you live in hope you're

Dancing to a terrible tune

Starving in the Belly

Starving in the Belly...
