Both Crosses Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
She says sometimes she sees these things
Right before they're happening
Hail Mary full of grace
Some nights she swears she feels her faceShe'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 ChristHey Judas, I know you made a grave mistake
Hey Peter, you've been pretty sweet since Easter breakNow 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 let's try to levitate
You Catholic girls you stop much too lateBaby, let's transverberate
Baby, let's transverberate
Baby, let's transverberateAnd 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 that's how we got canonizedShe 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 energizedShe 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 coughing
And I've been mostly crying
And I've been thinking 'bout both crossesShe 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 bandAnd 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 crusesAnd I've been thinking about both crosses
And I've been dreaming about dos cruses
Yeah, I've been thinking about both crosses

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
The Hold Steady is a Brooklyn-based rock band formed by vocalist/guitarist Craig Finn (ex-Lifter Puller) in 2004. Wanting to capture the sound of bands such as The Replacements and The Grifters, he recruited guitarist Tad Kubler (also ex-Lifter Puller), drummer Judd Counsell, and bassist Galen Polivka. In 2005 the band grew to include Franz Nicolay (of The World/Inferno Friendship Society) on keyboards and Bobby Drake took over on drums following Counsell's departure.

Recording mostly live, the band released its debut, Almost Killed Me, on French Kiss Records in March 2004 and Separation Sunday a year later. In April 2006 the band signed to Vagrant Records and entered the studio on the 1st of May to begin work on their third record, Boys And Girls In America. Released in October, it was one of the most critically acclaimed records of 2006 and reached a much larger audience than its predecessors.

The band released their fourth album, Stay Positive, recorded again with Boys And Girls In America producer John Agnello. Nicolay left the group and on May 4, 2010 the band released their fifth studio album, Heaven Is Whenever, recorded with producer Dean Baltulonis.


On July 15, 2008, Stay Positive was released. It debuted at #30 on the Billboard 200. It debuted on the UK Album Chart at #15 on July 20, the third-highest new entry. It ranked #1 on the UK Indie Chart. The album was named the best of 2008 by Entertainment Weekly. The song "Constructive Summer" was number 56 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008.
