In the belly of the Cluster

I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!

…...

The Crystal gems were not happy...the drill had been a huge fiasco...long story short:...they'd been trapped in the belly of the Cluster.

Of course Steven...being Steven; had befriended several fusion experiments lodged in it's gullet...and together they sang a little song...

Up to my ears in bitter tears
Can't believe I've sunk this low
As I walk the plankton
Inner sanctum.

"This is supposed to make us feel better?" Asked a skeptical Peridot. SHHH! Hissed Garnet.

Got outta Dodge,
Sailed on a bon-less
Bon voyage.
You said North,
I headed South.
Tossed overboard.
Good Lord, that's a really large mouth...

"Not as big as mine!" Shouts Amethyst as she morphs her mouth bigger.

I'm sleeping with fishes here,
In the belly of the whale.
I'm highly nutritious here,
In the belly of the whale.
Bad food, lousy atmosphere.
I don't wanna bellyache.
How long is this gonna take?

"I'm working on it!" Shouts an annoyed Pearl as she scavenges parts.

Woke up this morning kinda blue,
Thinking through that age-old question:
How to exit a whale's digestion?
It might behoove me to be heaved.
Head out like a human comet...

"Hey guys you might not wanna rhyme with comet." Stated Amethyst teasingly

I'm sleeping with fishes here,
In the belly of the whale.
I'm highly nutritious here,
In the belly of the whale.
I'm ready to reappear.
I don't wanna bellyache.
Lord, how long's this gonna take?

"Not too long if this stupid power converter would just stabilize!" Shouts an irritable Peridot as she banged away.

End times, they come rolling around.
Enzymes, they come breaking us down to the core.
The good Lord grants we all get a second chance.

"I'd actually like to get out of here before that happens if you don't mind." Stated Garnet matter-of-factly.

I'm one of the dishes here,
In the belly of the whale.
They say I'm delicious here,
In the belly of the whale.
Lord, please make him chuck it all.
It's a gut call
In the belly of the whale.

"Yeah! Chuck me out too!" Shouts Amethyst enthusiastically.

I'm in the belly of the whale.
In the belly of the whale.
I'm in the belly.
In the belly of the whale.
I'm in the belly of the whale.
In the belly of the whale.
I'm in the belly...

It's then that Steven goes 'straight up gangster rap'...much to everyone's horror...

In the belly of the whale
In an underwater jail
It's a tight squeeze.
It's a-gettin' to me,
But it's roomier
Than the tail.
Hey, sailor,
Got my flow free
Like a salmon to the sea
From the L.A. Symphony.
I'm a paddleboat
Paddlin' in their wake,
A fake free-styler,
But my unemployment pays.
I'm avoiding cliches
Like "whale of a tale" stale
Or "you can't keep
A good man down,"
'Cause you can
And I've been there, man.
But I've been expectorated.
I'm elated!
I'm free like Willie!
Happy Day!
Oops,
That's a bit of a cliche.

I'm in the belly...

The Gems applauded politely...what else could they do?
