lyrics

Belly Of The Beast

Deep inside the city
The streetlights breathe in and out
The Sky lies in the gutter
And the Good Time Ghosts buzz about
Deep inside the city
Belly of the Beast
When they take you for all you are
Please try to smile at least

Take me to
The poor souls who
Manifest this Hell

'Cause if I could
You know I would
Join in the fun as well

Take me to
The poor souls who
Manifest this Hell

They have a dirty job to do
But you know they do it well

Deep inside the city
I feel your heart bleeding out
We know just how the story ends
But not what it's about
Been dreaming like a man on fire
Burning in his own bed
If you could grant me just one wish
I wish that it was you instead

Take me to
The poor souls who
Manifest this Hell

'Cause if I could
You know I would
Join in the fun as well

Take me to
The poor souls who
Manifest this Hell

They have a dirty job to do
But you know they do it well

And the Janitor Of Lunacy
Will sweep up what is left of me
Into the insanity
Into the unknown

Like raindrops falling on the sea
Deep into infinity
As long as you're as lost as me
We'll never be alone
