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
