Down in the belly of the beast   Washed out on a rip tide   I'm burned out to say the least   Yeah, I been down on a dark side      I took a turn down a twisted alley   I wound up on a dead end street   Nothing but vultures were in my valley   Nothing but anchors around my feed      Somebody's trying to draw the water up   But the bottom of the well was stone   And the rain won't fall on the shame of it all   And the fields are dryer than a bone      They're coming hard and heavy on my left side   They're coming slow and easy on my right   And the blue-blood breed and the demon seed   Will lie down together tonight      They followed me when I left the city   Kept my trail for fourteen days   Giving up was just not in me   Dark in their hearts as I slipped away      I made it down to the edge of the ocean   Truth will tell itself in time   Behind every fortune   Is an even greater crime      Somebody's trying to draw the water up   But the bottom of the well was stone   And the rain won't fall on the shame of it all   And the fields are dryer than a bone      They're coming hard and heavy on my left side   They're coming slow and easy on my right   And the blue-blood breed and the demon seed   Will lie down together tonight
