Judas
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Judas, you know the lonesome road, don't you?
Collecting bottle caps of rum
Honest sinning to chase the blues
Blurrier till kingdom comes
Take a little girl who gets to see her mama broke down
Now she's a lady made for the modern world, my life
But if you ask my advice us raging girls
Are china dolls fed up with all that follows
All the way down
Digging up holy scriptures to shame her while she drowns
But if you ask my advice that's shallow gets a bargin next to Judgment Day
It's only a matter of time, honey
Good money
Sixth blew her teeth
She's not evil
Forgive this innocent wrecking ball (man-made)
Judas, you know the lonesome road, don't you?
Collecting bottle caps of rum
Honest sinning to chase the blues
Blurrier till kingdom comes
Take a little boy who gets to see his papa broke down
Now he's a shadow made for the modern world, my life
But if you ask my advice
Us raging boys are Indian cowboy's high on toys, that follow
All the way down
Locking up holy figures to shame the whole damn town
But if you ask my advice
Their island cage can't hold the rising sea, of rage
It's only a matter of time, honey
Good money
Made on the street
He's not evil
Forgive this innocent wrecking ball (man-made)
Judas, you know the lonesome road, don't you?
Collecting bottle caps of rum
Honest sinning to chase the blues
Blurrier till kingdom comes
You either love him or you leave him
Are you the lover or a chain?
Are you a lover or a chain?
A matter of time, honey
Good money
Made in defeat
It's not evil
Forgive this innocent wrecking ball (manmade)
Judas, you know the lonesome road, don't you?
Collecting bottle caps of rum
Honest sinning to chase the blues
Blurrier till kingdom comes
