Belly of the Whale Lyrics
A nice breeze blows in
Whenever the big fella cracks a grin
And when the time and the place is right
We sit down, sip some bouillabaisse
Ah, you know I'm gonna have me a little fun
I got a candle, I can get a lot of reading done
Somewhere the sun is shining
On this world but not for me
Two lovers' hearts a-rising
Oh, how long before I'm free?
Ah, yes, I
Feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale
I get so lonely in the belly of the whale
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yeah, I feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I say now, if we swim faster
(We're sure to come back)
Ah, you didn't please everyone
Got thrown off the boat before the trip was done
So with a smile on your face
You disappeared without no trace
Ah, you know we're gonna have us a little fun
(While down here)
I got a candle, we can get a lot of reading done
Somewhere the sun is shining
On this world but not for me
Two lovers' hearts a-rising
Oh, how long before I'm free?
Ah, yes, I
Feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale
Gotta keep my head up now if I wanna come back
It gets so lonely in the belly of the whale
You wanna know you belong here but you've only got trapped
Hey!
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Don't you feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale?
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
But I say now, if we swim faster
(We're sure to come back)
Somewhere the sun is shining
On this world but not for me
Two lovers' hearts a-rising
(Rising, rising, rising, rising)
Oh, how long before I'm free?
Ah, yes, I
I feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale
Gotta keep my head up now if I wanna come back
I get so lonely in the belly of the whale
You wanna know you belong here yet you've only got trapped
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yeah, it feels like Jonah in the belly of the whale
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Did I tell you now? If we swim faster
(We're sure to come back)
Whenever the big fella cracks a grin
And when the time and the place is right
We sit down, sip some bouillabaisse
I got a candle, I can get a lot of reading done
On this world but not for me
Two lovers' hearts a-rising
Oh, how long before I'm free?
Feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale
I get so lonely in the belly of the whale
Yeah, I feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I say now, if we swim faster
(We're sure to come back)
Got thrown off the boat before the trip was done
So with a smile on your face
You disappeared without no trace
(While down here)
I got a candle, we can get a lot of reading done
On this world but not for me
Two lovers' hearts a-rising
Oh, how long before I'm free?
Feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale
Gotta keep my head up now if I wanna come back
It gets so lonely in the belly of the whale
You wanna know you belong here but you've only got trapped
Hey!
Don't you feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale?
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
But I say now, if we swim faster
(We're sure to come back)
On this world but not for me
Two lovers' hearts a-rising
(Rising, rising, rising, rising)
Oh, how long before I'm free?
Ah, yes, I
Gotta keep my head up now if I wanna come back
I get so lonely in the belly of the whale
You wanna know you belong here yet you've only got trapped
Yeah, it feels like Jonah in the belly of the whale
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Did I tell you now? If we swim faster
(We're sure to come back)
