The Hold Steady

The Hold Steady - Both Crosses lyrics

Your rating:


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 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

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



She saw all the footage right before it got cut

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 Massachussets

I keep dreaming about dos cruces



I've been thinking about both crosses

And I've been dreaming about dos cruces

Yeah, I've been thinking about both crosses
