life is whittled life s a riddle man s a fiddle that life plays on when the day breaks and the earth quakes life s a mistake all day long tell me who gives a good goddamn you ll never get out alive don t go dreaming don t go scheming a man must test his mettle in the crooked old world starving in the belly starving in the belly starving in the belly of a whale starving in the belly starving in the belly starving in the belly of a whale don t take my word just look skyward they that dance must pay the fiddler sky is darkening dogs are barking but the caravan moves on tell me who gives a good goddamn you ll never get get out alive don t go dreaming don t go scheming a man must test his mettle in the crooked old world starving in the belly starving in the belly starving in the belly of a whale starving in the belly starving in the belly starving in the belly of a whale as the crow flies it s there the truth lies at the bottom of the well e o leven goes to heaven bless the dead here as the rain falls don t trust a bull s horn a doberman s tooth a runaway horse or me don t be greedy don t be needy if you live in hope you re dancing to a terrible tune starving in the belly starving in the belly starving in the belly of a whale starving in the belly starving in the belly starving in the belly of a whale
