In Civilian Clothing - Belly Of A Whale lyrics

Black eyes, you see I'm teething, like a newborn Follow a trail of bread crumbs Bear witness for me Sister's improvement My brother left tied to the mast of a ship Senator, you'll tell us We're dying everywhere if you look hard enough for it In the belly of a whale, a coffin or jail Look what they had us believing Look what they had us believing Black eyes, you see I must say, it's tempting You talk to me as if I were Sleeping in your lap, or in your womb A belly full of warm milk and sedative A diamond ring in a bear trap Waiting for someone else just to reach for it In the belly of a whale, a coffin or jail Look what they had us believing Look what they had us believing Black eyes, I beg you Don't walk on eggshells The ballots are all still full of holes You make such a grand example of A belly full of life, when I'm barely full of life A belly full of life, when I'm barely full of life When I'm barely full of life
