No céu, todo mundo te ama
In heaven everyone loves you
No céu ninguém te conhece
In heaven nobody knows you
Mas eu sim
But I do

Eu sonho que eu era um menino lindo
I dream I was a beautiful boy
Dormindo no ventre de um animal
Sleeping in a womb of an animal
Segurando a corda umbilical
Clutching the umbilical chord
Meu corpo era o mapa da América
My body was the map of America
Eles me abençoaram com essas lindas mãos e dedos
They blessed me with these beautiful hands and fingers
Mas minha barriga estava cheia de produtos químicos
But my belly was a bag full of chemicals
Então eles decoraram todas as paredes com espelhos
So they decorated all of the walls with mirrors
Agora todo mundo espera pelo milagre
Now everybody waits for the miracle

No céu não havia nada
In heaven there was nothing at all
Apenas o tom de couve-flor de uma bomba atômica
Just the cauliflower shade of an atom bomb
Desaparecendo no escuro
Fumbling away in the dark
Com cascos de prata e satélites
With silver hooves and satelittes

Eu vi os navios de guerra pelo rio
I saw the battleships down by the river
E os fogos de artifício
And the fireworks
Um cemitério na véspera de Ano Novo
A cemetary on New Year's Eve
Quando nos vestimos como animais
When we dressed up like animals

O nome dele era Jonas
His name was Jonah
Ele era o melhor amigo que eu já tive
He was the best friend I ever had
E eu lembro do rifle dele
And I remember his rifle
E o diploma dele
And his diploma
E no dia em que ele disse que seria o rei do mundo
And the day that he said he was going to be the king of the world

O nome dele era Jonas
His name was Jonah
Ele era o melhor amigo que eu já tive
He was the best friend I ever had
E eu lembro do rifle dele
And I remember his rifle
Ele era um solitário
He was a loner
Mas o rádio disse que ele seria o rei do mundo (rei do mundo)
But the radio said he was going to be the king of the world (king of the world)
