Belly of the Beast Lyrics

It looks like I've been thrown In to the belly of the beast,
Sky scraping blades of broken bone make up her teeth
Her belly rumbles like a train on the subways underneath
And she screams like braking steel on its wheels.
I quiver like a kite that's pulling tight against its string
I cower and creep just like the c***roaches that tremble at my feet
There must have been a siren singing, left me longing to stay in,
As I struggle to see, how there could be, any beauty in this beast.
All I see is cinder blocks, capping clouds like bottle tops.
Bathed fluorescently in light that never stops.
So with the moths out on parade, I follow on their escalade
To see the fuss this reptile's reputation made.

I quiver like the feathers, of the sky rats in the wind,
I cower and creep just like the rodents, seeking refuge from the street
There must have been a siren singing, left me longing to stay in
As I slowly came to see, how there could be any beauty in this beast.
