Jonah

In heaven, everyone loves you
In heaven, nobody knows you

I dreamt I was a beautiful boy
Sleeping in a womb of an animal
Clutching the umbilical cord
My body was the map of America
Yeah 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

Uuhhh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh (uh uh)
Uuhhh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh (uh uh)
(Uuhhh) were the first Iberian lynx in the snow
Hunting for the Birds of Paradise
You wore a crown all painted in blue and white
Your kingdom was a grave of fireflies
I see you in the morning light
In the winter we are dressed up like animals
Looking for cracks in the ice on the river
And in heaven there was nothing at all
Just a cauliflower shade of an atom bomb
Now I'm fumbling away in the dark by the river
Uh uh uh uh uh

His name was Jonah
He was the best friend I've 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've ever had
And I remember his rifle
He was a loner
On the day that he said he was going to be the king of the world

Shine a light, shine a light, sha-shine a light
People they come and go
Shine a light, shine a light
It is the way of the river

Shine a light, shine a light, sha-shine a light
This is your final show
Shine a light, shine a light
It is the way of the river

His name was Jonah
He was the best friend I've ever had
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh ohh
Oh uh oh, oh uh oh, oh oh oh oh
He's name is jonah
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh ohh
Oh uh oh, oh uh oh, oh oh oh oh
Jonah

Uh uhh
His name was Jonah

Oh uh oh oh, oh uh uh oh oh oo
Oh uh oh oh
Keep on, keep on breathing
You gotta keep on, keep on moving
You gotta keep on, keep on trying
Oh oh
Keep on, keep on living (oh uh oh uh)
You gotta keep on keep on dreaming
You gotta keep on, keep on trying (ohhhhhh)
(oh uh oh uh) Keep on, keep on breathing
You gotta keep on, keep on moving
You gotta keep on, keep on trying

(oh uh oh uh) Keep on, keep on living
You gotta keep on, keep on dreaming
You gotta keep on, keep on trying (oh uh oh uh)
(oh uh oh uh)
Keep on, keep on breathing
You gotta keep on, keep on moving
(oh uh oh uh)
