Belly of the Beast

In the belly of the Beast I go walking in my sleep Toward a light I cannot see, A force in which I must believe In the belly of the Beast, Regret the threat I did not heed, Which was: “Tread lightly on your feet Or you'll be eaten by the Beast And so I danced just for him for a long time, I misread the coy gleam in his red eye As he gnashed his grey teeth I was swallowed in one piece Now I'm left here pondering "How could this have happened to little old me?” Aw, honey! In the belly of the Beast I'm one repentant digestif What was unfortunate for me For him was a delightful treat In the belly of the Beast I'm still singing in my sleep Escape's a literal pipe dream From the belly of the Beast So home sweet home and c'est la vie Here in the belly of the Beast
