Jonah

in heaven everyone loves you in heaven nobody knows you but I do I dreamt 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 his name was Jonah he was the best friend I ever had --- Jonah - Major Parkinson
