Me and Judas down on 6th and Lowry
F Gsus(add9)
It cast itself down, pouring out on the city, what a pity
when something so beautiful wastes itself
I took a pull from my wood pipe as the taxicabs drove by,
F Gsus(add9)
Yeah they're all wearing costumes and they all look like children
F Gsus(add9)
I wondered what in the hell in this world could compel
Any creature to smile on a pair like we were
He had short, neat curls that were shadow black
And I was fumbling around with the weather app
Wondering if he could ever love me back
Am Fsus2 Gsus(add9)
With the perfume trail lingering behind
I caught an urge and the nerve to take his hand in mine
And if it didn't rain at the perfect time,
It's probable we wouldn't have kissed
In the NorthEast Minneapolis Arts District
He whispered, I'm not the kind to lie about leaving
F Gsus(add9)
In a notebook on the rough-hewn walnut stand by his mattress
F Gsus(add9)
And then I never told anyone, kept it quiet
F Gsus(add9)
Some of our friends say I'm still alive in it
F Gsus(add9)
I gave my body and blood for the power of love
And hoped that I would conquer sin
But I never even rose again
He had short, neat curls that were shadow black
And I was fumbling around with the weather app
Wondering if he could ever love me back
Am Fsus2 Gsus(add9)
With the perfume trail lingering behind
I caught an urge and the nerve to take his hand in mine
And if it didn't rain at the perfect time,
It's probable we wouldn't have kissed
In the NorthEast Minneapolis Arts District
Then in the light of a wasteful moon, so familiar
You sold me out for some pieces of silver
But still I loved the feel of your lips
And i never wanted more than this:
To kiss you in public,
To openly say that I loved it
Oh I write this down for Judas
Oh I love these words for Judas
