Joanna

Quando eu era jovem, tinha um amigoWhen I was young I had a friend
Pai disse que ela era fingidaFather said she was make-pretend
Joanna era o nome dela e a vida era inocênciaJoanna was her name and life was innocence
Os médicos tentaram arrancá-laDoctors tried to claw her out
E pílulas tentaram empurrá-la para baixoAnd pills tried to push her down
Ela fazia parte de mim, voltou novamenteShe was part of me, she came back again

Mas não demorou muitoBut not before long
Quando tudo foi dito e feitoWhen all was said and done
Eu sabia que éramos realmente ela e euI knew that it was really her and me
Os meninos na multidãoThe boys in the crowd
Eles disseram que a espancariamThey said they’d beat her out
Eles exorcizariam essa bruxinha em mimThey’d exorcise this little witch in me

No momento em que todosBy the time that all
Os professores chegaramThe teachers had arrived
Era tarde demaisIt was too late
Eles a espancaram até a morteThey bludgeoned her to death
Fora do portãoOutside the gate
Ela se afastouShe slipped away
Na chuva de verãoInto the summer rain
E nunca foi o mesmoAnd never was the same

Oh Joanna queridaOh Joanna dear
Eu pensei que essa música faria você desaparecerI thought this song would make you disappear
E bani-lo de alguma formaAnd banish you somehow
Embora enquanto eu canto agoraThough as I sing it now
Eu ouço sua voz tão altaI hear your voice so loud
Portanto, não há dúvidaSo there can be no doubt
Que de alguma forma você rastejouThat somehow you crept out
