Mike Mcclure - Belly of the Beast lyrics

rate me

Down in the belly of the beast

Washed out on a rip tide

I'm burned out to say the least

Yeah, I been down on a dark side

I took a turn down a twisted alley

I wound up on a deadend street

Nothing but vultures were in my valley

Nothing but anchors around my feed

Chorus:

Somebody's trying to draw the water up

But the bottom of the well was stone

And the rain won't fall on the shame of it all

And the fields are dryer than a bone

They're coming hard and heavy on my left side

They're coming slow and easy on my right

And the blue-blood breed and the demon seed

Will lie down together tonight

They followed me when I left the city

Kept my trail for fourteen days

Giving up was just not in me

Dark in their hearts as I slipped away

I made it down to the edge of the ocean

Truth will tell itself in time

Behind every fortune

Is an even greater crime

Chorus

They're coming hard and heavy on my left side

They're coming slow and easy on my right

And the blue-blood breed and the demon seed

Will lie down together tonight
