Esperanza Spalding - Judas lyrics

Judas, you know the lonesome road don’t you?
Collecting bottle caps of rum
Honest sinning, to chase the blues
Blur ya ‘til kingdom come

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 shallow grave's a bargain
Next to Judgment Day
It’s only a matter of time, honey good money
Sinks through 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
Blur ya ‘til kingdom come

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
Cowboys 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
Blur ya ‘til kingdom come

You either love him or you leave him
You either love him or you leave him
Are you a lover or a leaver
Are you a lover or a leaver

A matter of time, honey good money
Earned in defeat it'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
Blur ya ‘til kingdom come
