The Hold Steady - Both Crosses

　　@ @

　　She said sometimes she sees these things

　　Right before they're happening

　　Hail Mary, full of grace

　　Some nights she swears she feels her face

　　She's been with a couple boys who died

　　And two of them were crucified

　　And the last one had enlightened eyes

　　But 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 four A.M. and she's wide awake

　　She's shiverin' and smilin'

　　Let's clutch and kiss and sing and shake

　　Tonight, let's try to levitate

　　You Catholic girls, you start much too late

　　Baby, let's transverberate

　　Baby, let's transverberate

　　Baby, let's transverberate

　　But she saw the footage right before it got cut

　　And she saw the bodies and she saw the blood

　　She saw the angel put a sword in his side

　　And baby, that's how we got canonized

　　She saw him gushing blood right before it got cut

　　She saw him 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 'bout both crosses"

　　She saw the film right before it came out

　　And at first she thought Judas might go for the mouth

　　And she saw the nails and she saw the hands

　　She saw the crown, she heard the band

　　And the new kid begged him not to do it

　　And Jesus just said, "Hey, I still love you Judas"

　　Since you've been up in Massachusetts

　　I've been dreaming 'bout dos cruces

　　And I've been thinking 'bout both crosses

　　And I've been dreaming 'bout dos cruces

　　Yeah I've been thinking 'about both crosses
