Both Crosses Lyrics - Stay Positive - The Hold Steady

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 

She's known a couple boys that 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 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 shivering and smiling 

Let's clutch and kiss and sing and shake 

And now lets try to levitate 

You catholic girls you stop much too late 

Baby lets transverberate 

Baby lets transverberate 

Baby lets transverberate 

And she saw all the footage right before it got cut 

And she saw all the bodies and she saw the blood 

She saw the angel put a sword in his side 

And baby thats 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 thats how we get energized 

She said you know I'm down to pay for it 

She said just grab me some indulgences 

'Cause I've been mostly dying 

And I've been mostly [unknown] 

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 crowd and she heard the band 

And 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 Massachusetts 

I've been dreaming about dos cruces 

And I've been thinking about both crosses 

And ive been dreaming about dos cruces 

Yea I've been thinking about both crosses
