lyrics

whatever hope there is for judas is the hope there is for me
i didn't expect to find you hanging in my family tree
wishing that you knew how it would feel to be free
the hope for judas, that's the hope for me

do you remember that party when he turned water into wine?
his mama told him to do it, said it'd be one hell of a sign
me and judas were in the corner, having a good time
the day he turned water into wine

a few years later a woman doused him from his head down to his feet
judas said you could smell that perfume the rest of the week
and if you'd gone to kiss him, you could've smelled it on his cheek
that woman poured perfume on his feet

i know that we're all bastards, god loves us anyway
but you could've heard a pin drop when judas got passed that plate
i just couldn't bring myself to look him in the face
god loves us anyway

so whatever hope there is for judas is the hope there is for me
i didn't expect to find you hanging in my family tree
wishing that you knew how it would feel to be free
the hope for judas, that's the hope for me
