Lyrics
Jonah
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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)
(X2)
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
His name was Jonah, his name was Jonah
He was the best friend I ever had
