Lyrics
hey citrus, hey liquor
I love it when when you touch each other
hey whiskey, hey ginger
I come to you with rigid fingers.
i see judas in the hard eyes of the boys working the corners.
i feel jesus in the clumsiness of young and awkward lovers.
hey barroom, hey tavern
I find hope in all the souls you gather.
hey citrus, hey liquor
I love it when we come together.
I feel jesus in the clumsiness of young and awkward lovers.
I feel judas in the long odds of the rackets on the corners.
I feel jesus in the tenderness of honest nervous lovers.
I feel judas in the pistols and the pagers that come with all the powders.
lost in fog and love and faithless fear.
I've had kisses that make Judas seem sincere
