Guster - Jonah lyrics

rate me

was down for the count

Without any real way out

In this new submarine

Like the whale of Jonah's dreams

And what if I should rise up

From several fathoms too

A scar on my soul and a humbling tale of a world

That swallowed me whole

Swallowed me whole

It was harmless enough

While acquiring all this stuff

But the truth in the end

Was a slippery descent

And what if I should rise up

From several fathoms too

A scar on my soul and a humbling tale of a world

That swallowed me whole

Swallowed me whole

I was asleep while the angels were weeping

And racing below me to cushion my fall

And I was just like Jonah

Staring down the whale

A scar on my soul and a humbling tale of a world

That swallowed me whole

Swallowed me whole

Swallowed me whole

It swallowed me whole
