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 let's try to levitate | |
You Catholic girls you stop much too late | |
Baby, let's transverberate | |
Baby, let's transverberate | |
Baby, let's 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 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 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 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 cruses | |
And I've been thinking about both crosses | |
And I've been dreaming about dos cruses | |
Yeah, I've been thinking about both crosses |
She says sometimes she sees these things | |
Right before they' re happening | |
Hail Mary full of grace | |
