Both Crosses

(album: Stay Positive - 2008)

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
