Judas - Esperanza Spalding

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 bull that

follows

All the way down

Digging up holy scriptures to shame her while she drowns

But if you ask my advice that shallow grave’s a bargain 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

You either love him or you leave him

Are you the lover or a leaver

Are you a lover or a leaver

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
