In the belly of the beast (in the belly of the beast)
I go walking in my sleep (she goes walking in her sleep)
Toward a light I cannot see (toward a light she cannot see)
A force in which I must believe (a force in which she must believe)
In the belly of the beast (in the belly of the beast)
Regret the threat I did not heed (regret the threat she did not heed)
Which was, "Tread lightly on your feet (oh, tread lightly on your feet)
Or you'll be eaten by the beast" (in the belly of 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 (in the belly of the beast)
I'm one repentant digestif (one repentant digestif)
What was unfortunate for me (it's unfortunate, we see)
For him was a delightful treat (for him was something warm to eat)
In the belly of the beast (in the belly of the beast)
I'm still singing in my sleep (mmm, but singing in your sleep)
Escape's a literal pipe dream (oh no, oh no)
From the belly of the beast (from the belly of the beast)
So, home sweet home and c'est la vie (home sweet home and c'est la vie)
Here in the belly of the beast (in the belly of the beast)
Don't make us say we told ya so
We totally told ya so
That's good?
(Got it!) Okay
