Craig Finn - Saint Peter Upside Down lyrics

They caught up with Simon Peter They hung him upside down They took the fisherman's ring off his finger And they hung him upside down We all gotta sell out somebody sometimes We gotta take care of ourselves right now Meet me in the booth in the back by the bathroom Saint Peter's hanging upside down Upper twenties, Seventh Avenue Just south of the Garden He's usually here by noon He gets dropped off in a Honda Mustang Sally's, Monday morning I was watching out the window I was shaking off the evening I was leaning on my faith They caught up with Simon Peter They hung him upside down Nero Augustus Caesar In the cross under the crown We all gotta sell out somebody sometimes Gotta take care of ourselves right now Meet me in the booth in the back by the bathroom Saint Peter's hanging upside down Can you hear me Mother Mary? I'm unsteady in the lobby Would you send someone to get me? I'm barely hanging on Like some claymation fawn In the blue light of dawn And now she's up in her room She's watching Disney cartoons She's always cries when they're kissing the prince They surrounded Simon Peter The soldiers knocked him down They took the fisherman's ring from his finger And they hung him upside down I came into the city I was searching for this one specific girl I met her in 1999 up in Windows on the World I was desperate to make a connection I was from another planet It was very far away They caught up with Simon Peter They hung him upside down They took the fisherman's ring off his finger They hung him upside down We all gotta sell out somebody sometimes Kid, you gotta lay your burden down I'm speeding through a Saturday morning And Saint Peter's hanging upside down They surrounded Simon Peter The soldiers knocked him down Nero Augustus Caesar In the cross under the crown We all gotta sell out somebody sometimes Let's just keep it cool for right now Meet me in the booth in the back by the bathroom Saint Peter's hanging upside down
