Down In The Belly Of Life

(album: Modern Madness - 1988)

It takes a reckless heart
That's been living
Underneath the gun
A deserted soul
Hard facts
In a silver tongue

To get you by
Do or die
Nothing else matters
Talk trash
Moving fast
That's all you gotta know
Neon lights guide your life
Off in the distance
They glow

Move sharp
(Move sharp)
Move deep
(Move deep)
Move right
Right down in the belly of life
See the saints
And the sinners holding hands each day
Right down in the belly of life

It gets in your blood
But you know
You'd love to give and take
If you walk these streets
Watch out
They make a hard man shake

Twist and turn 'til you learn
Nothing else matters
Dirty hands, one night stands
They come and they go
Neon lights guide your life
Off in the distance
They glow

Move sharp
(Move sharp)
Move deep
(Move deep)
Move right
Right down in the belly of life
See the saints
And the sinners holding hands each day
Right down in the belly of life

Move sharp
(Move sharp)
Move deep
(Move deep)
Move right
Right down in the belly of life
For the bells
Are tolling for the ones who stay
Right down in the belly of life
Yeah

Twist and turn 'til you learn
Nothing else matters
Dirty hands, one night stands
They come and they go
Neon lights guide your life
Off in the distance
They glow, they glow

Move sharp
(Move sharp)
Move deep
(Move deep)
Move right
Right down in the belly of life
(It's all right)
See the saints
And the sinners holding hands each day
Right down in the belly of life

Move sharp
(Move sharp)
Move deep
(Move deep)
Move right
Right down in the belly of life
For the bells
Are tolling for the ones who stay
Right down in the belly of life
Here we go [?]

Move sharp
(Move sharp)
Move deep
(Move deep)
Move right, move right, move right, yeah
Right down in the belly of life
See the saints
And the sinners holding hands, holding hands
Right down in the belly of life

Move sharp
(Move sharp)
(Move deep)
Move right
Right down in the belly of life
Down, down, down, down, down, yeah, yeah
