Hungry in the belly of a whale
In my friend's old car where I eat and sleep
In my shallow fitful dreams
The air breathes thick, sweet and sick
Smells like what it seems
Hungry in the belly of a whale
Hear me calling
Hungry in the belly of a whale
Trash in piles around my feet
Piss out in the street
A little piece, Famine feast
Swear and beg for meat
Empty not plenty
No dirt to scratch, no eggs to lay
So unsettling stuns the mustard man
Rolls up balls of string and sells them when he can
Dark night, back seat, a candle glowed
Rolled the window up 'cause it's cold
Drifting off and dazed, lit a little blaze
Choking smoke. Oh no!
Kill me if I lie but I died that night
Shame rained down on the car
Screwed down tight, shot on sight
Shined like the darkest star
Hungry in the belly of a whale
Hear me calling
Hungry in the belly of a whale
