The Hold Steady - Both Crosses lyrics

She says sometimes she sees these things Right before they're happening Hail Mary, full of grace Some nights she swears she feels her face And she's known a couple of boys that died And two of them were crucified And the last one had enlightened eyes The first guy he was Jesus Christ Hey Judas I know you've made a grave mistake Hey Peter You've been pretty sweet since Easter break Now she's 4am and she's wide awake And she's shivering and smiling Let's clutch and kiss and sing and shake Tonight let's try to levitate You Catholic girls start much too late Baby, let's transverberate Baby, let's transverberate Baby, let's transverberate She saw all the footage right before it got cut And she saw all the bodies and she saw all the blood She saw the angel put a sword in his side And baby, that's how we got canonised She saw him gushing blood right before he got cut She saw them put a body in a bag in the trunk She saw the guys coming in from the sides And baby, that's how we get energized She said, "You know I'm down to pay for it." She said, "Just grant me some indulgences. 'Cause I've been mostly dying And I've been mostly coughing. And I've been mostly crying And I've been thinking about both crosses." She saw the film right before it came out At first she thought Judas might go for the mouth And she saw the nails and she saw the hands She saw the crowd, she heard the band The new kid begged them not to do it And Jesus just said, "Hey I still love you Judas." Since you've been up in Ma**achusetts I keep dreaming about dos cruces And I've been thinking about both crosses And I've been dreaming about dos cruces Yeah, I've been thinking about both crosses
