Tom Waits - Starving In The Belly Of A Whale Lyrics
Life is whittled
Life's a riddle
Man's a fiddle that life plays on
When the day breaks, and the earth quakes
Tell me, who gives a good goddamn
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 of a whale
Starving in the Belly
Starving in the Belly
Starving in the Belly of a whale
Don't take my word
Just look skyward
They that dance must pay the fiddler
Sky is darkening
But the caravan moves on
Tell me who gives a good goddamn
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]
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...

It
Tasks me
...
The kinda song that makes you just want to scream in hateful joy as you ride a pixie dragon into the black hole at the side of the maze.
A pox on anybody who disliked this.

I love how I always get alcohol commercials on Tom Waits videos. How quaint.
August Greig Tom's been sober since the early 80's.
So it is said, to strengthen the mediated view of his res publica.
dirty old pirate music
21st century pirate music
I read this in the voice of bubbles from TPB, and it was amazing. Like maybe Rick would be playing this, and Bubbles would be all afraid and call it dirty old pirate music
