Craig Finn – Saint Peter Upside Down lyrics
They caught up with Simon Peter

They hung him upside down
They took the fisherman's ring off his finger
And they hung him upside down

We all gotta sell out somebody sometimes
We gotta take care of ourselves right now
Meet me in the booth in the back by the bathroom
Saint Peter's hanging upside down

Upper twenties, Seventh Avenue
Just south of the Garden
He's usually here by noon
He gets dropped off in a Honda

Mustang Sally's, Monday morning
I was watching out the window
I was shaking off the evening
I was leaning on my faith

They caught up with Simon Peter
They hung him upside down

Nero Augustus Caesar
In the cross under the crown

We all gotta sell out somebody sometimes
Gotta take care of ourselves right now
Meet me in the booth in the back by the bathroom
Saint Peter's hanging upside down

Can you hear me Mother Mary?
I'm unsteady in the lobby
Would you send someone to get me?

I'm barely hanging on
Like some claymation fawn
In the blue light of dawn

And now she's up in her room
She's watching Disney cartoons
She's always cries when they're kissing the prince

They surrounded Simon Peter
The soldiers knocked him down
They took the fisherman's ring from his finger
And they hung him upside down

I came into the city
I was searching for this one specific girl
I met her in 1999 up in Windows on the World

I was desperate to make a connection
I was from another planet
It was very far away

They caught up with Simon Peter
They hung him upside down
They took the fisherman's ring off his finger
They hung him upside down

We all gotta sell out somebody sometimes
Kid, you gotta lay your burden down
I'm speeding through a Saturday morning
And Saint Peter's hanging upside down

They surrounded Simon Peter
The soldiers knocked him down
Nero Augustus Caesar
In the cross under the crown

We all gotta sell out somebody sometimes
Let's just keep it cool for right now
Meet me in the booth in the back by the bathroom
Saint Peter's hanging upside down
