Starvin' in the belly of a whale

Don't take my word, just look skyward
They that dance must pay the fiddler
The sky is darkening, the dog's are barking
But the caravan moves on
You tell me who gives a good God damn
You never get out alive
Don't go dreaming, don't go scheming
Chord diagramA augmentedA man must test his metal in a crooked old world

Starvin' in the belly....

As the crow flies, it's there that truth lies
At the bottom of a well
E-oleven goes to heaven
Must the dead live as the rain falls
Don't trust a bull's horn, a doberman's tooth
Chord diagramA augmentedA runaway horse or me
Don't be greedy, don't be needy
If you live in hope
You're dancing to a terrible tune

Starvin' in the belly....
