Lyrics Mandolin Orange – Belly Of The Beast
Text:
Oh, the star eyed troubadour sleeps with the eternal
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
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 and tell ’em bout 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
A 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
