Me and Judas down on 6th & Lowry Outside a cafe when the moonlight fell 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 Full of college age women in drag Yeah they´re all wearing costumes and they all look like children And they´re blowing us kisses as they pass
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 Sometimes these things are hit or miss With the perfume trails lingering behind I caught an urge & 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” With me clinging so tight to his chest In a notebook on the rough-hewn walnut stand by his mattress I had drawn ultimatums in a cursive mess
And then I never told anyone, kept it quiet Imprisoned by the urgency of the love we shared Some of our friends say that I´m still alive in it But others don´t believe that I was ever anywhere
I gave my body and blood for the power of love
And hoped that I would conquer sin But I never even rose again
Then by the light of a wasteful moon, too 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
