Down in the Belly of Life lyrics

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 again

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
