Belly of the Beast

Oh, the star-eyed troubadour sleeps with the eternal
And wakes up in the gutter with a song to sing
The magic of the evening is so fleeting
And when it's gone, how we long
We punish our souls for being unclean
And bask in the glory of living obscenely
The fringe is a friend and our friends build the memories
We sacrifice for the song
Oh, it's maddening, running to the feast
Hiding from the monsters in the belly of the beast
Just give me your love, it's all I need
Hide me from the monsters in the belly of the beast
I'd like to call home, tell 'em about this town
A northwest gem just nestled in a mountain
Greeted me early with the peaceful sounds
Of the wind in the evergreens
I should go walking, it's not something I do
But feeling this light makes me miss the blues
The gutter is lonely, it's a tool I use
It's the road I'm traveling
Oh, it's maddening, running to the feast
Hiding from the monsters in the belly of the beast
Just give me your love, it's all I need
Hide me from the monsters in the belly of the beast
Oh, it's maddening running to the feast
Hiding from the monsters in the belly of the beast
Just give me your love, it's all I need
Hide me from the monsters in the belly of the beast
Just give me your love (it's all I need)
Just give me your love (it's all I need)
Just give me your love (it's all I need)
It's all I need
