lyrics

Over-policed.
I'm in the belly of the beast.
I'm in the teeth of the river.
Gonna drink away my liver
while I'm sucking on the teats.

We're in a big, bright house with plenty of glass. It's safe and it's clean, and it's kicking my ass. I'll tell you what- I've got a lot of nerve. To make it big in this town you gotta swim with the turds.

Over-policed.
I'm in the belly of the beast.
I'm in a portal going nowhere.
Always working, and I don't care
if I float or if I sink.

Where people don't like to leave and hardly anyone visits. It's a nice little town. Nobody's moving around. So, thank god we've made a perfect place for our children; they'll grow up just like you if the water don't kill them.

Over-policed.
I'm in the belly of the beast.
I am hung up in the tension
of the moments we don't mention
while we're falling on our knees.

I've seen you.
I've seen you.
Seen you living in your house-
all the lights are out-
and the walls are glowing blue.

I hear you,
wish I could cure you.
You're bored and running out
of things to sigh about.
Letting them tell you what to do.

Over-policed.
I'm in the belly of the beast.
I am swirling in the vortex;
always wishing I had more sex
while I'm choking on the beef.

Better Out Than In
by Julia Blair

supported by 5 fans who also own “Belly of the Beast”

Julia has the most unique voice, both sonically speaking and her music sensibility. She's equally folky and soulful, pulling from a range of influences far cooler than most could claim. This is an awesome collection of songs; as huge fan of the demos she put out, I especially love this fully fleshed out version of Barbara. jimiwiz
