belly of the blues

oh how i love a heart that aches

so drown me in despair

going down to the shadow

where the clock strikes 8

follow me if you dare

i don't know why

i can't explain

no matter how i try

it's a losing game

take me to the cross i bear

i will hang my head and cry

hang my head and cry

i was born

i was born

i was born in the belly of the blues

i was born

i was born

i was born in the belly of the blues

oh how i love to feel the pain

so drown me in my tears

going down to the halls

where the darkness waines

feels the same after all the years

as cold as the wind and as wild as the sea

the tides that turn around in me

just like the sun carries the moon

my hungry soul will sing

my hungry soul will sing

i was born

i was born

i was born in the belly of the blues

i was born

i was born

i was born in the belly of the blues

every step i'm gonna take

feels like the levee's gonna break

every corner that i turn

every bridge that i have burned

every time i wage my bets

feels like the last chance that i'll get

every day is passing by

hear the devils turn and cry

every step i'm gonna take

feels like the levee's gonna break

every corner that i turn

every bridge that i have burned

every time i wage my bets

feels like the last chance that i'll get

every day is passing by

hear the devils turn and cry

born

i was born

i was born in the belly of the blues

i was born

i was born

i was born in the belly of the blues
