Jeffrey Lewis, The Junkyard - The Upside-Down Cross lyrics

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

My wife Ilene and I my wife Ilene and I
We embarked on a trip to Florida
We were trying to save our
Marriage and a manatee

Well sometimes we wouldn't speak for a week
Their bloody bodies would wash
Up on the beach
We paddled out on anything that would float
We threw the 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 the dirty French army
We ran and ran and hid by a cross
We fell in love as the blasts went off

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

Oh, I went to Kansas City with a lady friend
Yeah, I went to Kansas City
With a lady friend we were up in Des Moins
From Round the Bend yeah
I went to Kansas City with a lady friend

We dug in crazy love, deep drit ground
An Elevator fell it didn't make a sound
Now it's heart of silver came raining down
It was dark and gritty in Kansas City

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