Judas Kiss

It’s been a long hot summer
I’m still waiting on a breeze
I got nothing in my pockets
I got holes in my jeans

The radio kept playing
Those same old rotten songs
Every single tune reminded me of you
All summer long

And the roses in the closet
All summer I’ve watched them fade
Now they crumble to the touch
Like the promises you made

When I close my eyes
I can still taste your lips
Now I’m left here alone
Betrayed by your Judas Kiss
Judas Kiss, Judas Kiss

You left me hanging at the altar
Well, it might as well have been
For as sure as I’m standing here
There is sin, and you have sinned

It don’t matter if we like it
There is right, and there is wrong
And, if you look that hard for trouble
It surely won’t take long

You remember our favorite picture?
It’s collecting dust under the bed
My bed of fire and nails
A jagged stone for my weary head

When I close my eyes
I can still taste your lips
Now I’m left here alone
Betrayed by your Judas Kiss
Judas Kiss, Judas Kiss

First it was cocaine
Then you discovered crack
Then, like they say, you got so high
You were never coming back

Judas Kiss, you called it
Such a clever fucking name
I miss you so bad
I may never get well
It’s so sad, such a goddamn shame

And the roses in the closet
I took them from your grave
Everyday I stand and look at them
Then I bow my head and pray

I hope wherever you are
It’s a better place than this
I’m left here alone
Betrayed by your Judas Kiss
Judas Kiss, Judas Kiss
Judas Kiss, Judas Kiss
