Jonah
In heaven everyone loves you
In heaven nobody knows you
But I do
I dream I was a beautiful boy
Sleeping in a womb of an animal
Clutching the umbilical chord
My body was the map of America
They blessed me with these beautiful hands and fingers
But my belly was a bag full of chemicals
So they decorated all of the walls with mirrors
Now everybody waits for the miracle
In heaven there was nothing at all
Just the cauliflower shade of an atom bomb
Fumbling away in the dark
With silver hooves and satelittes
I saw the battleships down by the river
And the fireworks
A cemetary on New Year's Eve
When we dressed up like animals
His name was Jonah
He was the best friend I ever had
And I remember his rifle
And his diploma
And the day that he said he was going to be the king of the world
His name was Jonah
He was the best friend I ever had
And I remember his rifle
He was a loner
But the radio said he was going to be the king of the world (king of the world)

His name was Jonah, his name was Jonah

Jonah
No céu, todo mundo te ama
No céu ninguém te conhece
Mas eu sim
Eu sonho que eu era um menino lindo
Dormindo no ventre de um animal
Segurando a corda umbilical
Meu corpo era o mapa da América
Eles me abençoaram com essas lindas mãos e dedos
Mas minha barriga estava cheia de produtos químicos
Então eles decoraram todas as paredes com espelhos
Agora todo mundo espera pelo milagre
No céu não havia nada
Apenas o tom de couve-flor de uma bomba atômica
Desaparecendo no escuro
Com cascos de prata e satélites
Eu vi os navios de guerra pelo rio
E os fogos de artifício
Um cemitério na véspera de Ano Novo
Quando nos vestimos como animais
O nome dele era Jonas
Ele era o melhor amigo que eu já tive
E eu lembro do rifle dele
E o diploma dele
E no dia em que ele disse que seria o rei do mundo
O nome dele era Jonas
Ele era o melhor amigo que eu já tive
E eu lembro do rifle dele
Ele era um solitário
Mas o rádio disse que ele seria o rei do mundo (rei do mundo)
