Lyrics
When he calls to me, I am ready
Expressing readiness when called upon.
I'll wash his feet with my hair if he needs
Willing to serve and show deep devotion, even in a humble manner.
Forgive him when his tongue
Ready to forgive despite the deceitful words spoken.
Lies through his brain
Dealing with lies and deception from the person being referred to.
Even after three times, he betrays me
Despite repeated betrayals, there is a determination to confront and bring the person down.
I'll bring him down, bring him down, down
Repetition emphasizing the intention to bring the person down.
A king with no crown, king with no crown
Describing the person as a king without authority or righteousness.
I couldn't love a man so purely
Expressing difficulty in loving someone with pure intentions.
Even prophets forgave his goofy way
Reference to forgiveness by even religious figures for the person's peculiar behavior.
I've learned love is like a brick, you can
Comparing love to a building material with the power to construct or destroy.
Build a house or sink a dead body
Metaphorically expressing the potential destructiveness of love.
I'll bring him down, bring him down, down
Reiteration of the determination to bring the person down.
A king with no crown, king with no crown
Repetition emphasizing the person's lack of authority or righteousness.
In the most Biblical sense
Describing oneself in a way that suggests a lack of repentance in a biblical context.
I am beyond repentance
Claiming to be beyond the possibility of repentance.
Fame hooker, prostitute
Using provocative language to describe oneself.
Wench vomit's her mind
Metaphorically expressing internal turmoil or confusion.
But in the cultural sense
Speaking in terms of cultural interpretation and future actions.
I just speak in future tense
Mentioning the name "Judas" and inviting a reaction or response.
Judas, kiss me if offensed
Suggesting precautions for those who may be offended by the mention of "Judas."
Or wear ear condom next time
Using humor to address potential sensitivities.
I wanna love you
Expressing a desire to love despite internal conflicts.
But something's pulling me away from you
Feeling a force pulling away from the object of affection.
Jesus is my virtue
Affirming loyalty to Jesus as a virtue.
And Judas is the demon I cling to
Acknowledging an attachment to the persona of "Judas" as a metaphorical demon.
I'm just a Holy Fool, oh
Describing oneself as a naive or innocent individual dedicated to faith.
Baby it's so cruel
Acknowledging the cruelty of the situation.
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
Admitting love for "Judas" despite the challenges.
I'm just a Holy Fool, oh
Reiteration of being a naive or innocent individual in love.
Baby it's so cruel
Acknowledging the cruelty of the situation once again.
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
Reiteration of love for "Judas."
Oh, I'm in love with Judas, Judas
Expressing love for "Judas" through repetition.
Oh, I'm in love with Judas, Judas
Repetition of the declaration of love for "Judas."
