The Upside Down Cross (demo) / Jack & Jeffrey Lewis

This song was written by Jack
It's called "The Upside Down Cross"

My wife Eileen and I
My wife Eileen and I
We embarked on a trip to Florida
We were trying to save our marriage and the manatee

Well sometimes we wouldn't speak for a week
Their bloody bodies would wash up on the beach
We paddled out in anything that would float
We threw rocks at the people in their white power boats

My girl, the sweet Lenore
My girl, the sweet Lenore
We embarked on a trip to Algeria
We thought it was for the cause

We planted bombs, they wouldn't even see
We were trying to oust that dirty French army
We ran and ran and hid behind a cross
We fell in love as the blast went off

Then one day she said it was over
But I didn't buy it 'cause we wanted sober
I said, "Please don't leave me, I need you girl
I need your help to save this world"

I went to Kansas City with a lady friend, yeah
I went to Kansas City with a lady friend
We were helping the miners come 'round the bend, yeah
I went to Kansas City with a lady friend

We dug a good yard deep underground
And out there we found it didn't make a sound
A heart of silver came raining down
It was dark and gritty in Kansas City
We want sober, but I didn't invite us
We want sober, I said please don't leave
I need you, girl, I need your help to save this world
