Lyrics

Archaeologists

[Verse 1]

The archaeologists found

Some winged boy's remains

(Ahh, ah, ah. Ahh, ah, ah, ah)

Stained by the fire and clouds

(Don't speak to me now, don't speak to me now)

In the belly of a whale

The day the lightning came

(Ahh, ah, ah. Ahh, ah, ah, ah)

[Chorus]

The belly of a whale

The belly of a whale

The belly of a whale

The belly of a whale

The belly of a whale

The belly of a whale

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

Packed up and shipped to London

(Discard, discard the rotted parts)

Preserve the heart and lungs

(Ahh, ah, ah. Ahh, ah, ah, ah)

[Chorus]

The belly of a whale

The belly of a whale

The belly of a whale

The belly of a whale

The belly of a whale

The belly of a whale

The belly of a whale

The belly of a whale

The belly of a whale

The belly of a whale

The belly of a whale

The belly of a whale
