judas

"citrus" by the hold steady from the record boys and girls in america

hey citrus
hey liquor
i love it 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
lost in fog and love and faithless fear
i've had kisses that make judas seem sincere

i can't stop listening to this song. a perfect cross between melancholy and hope...kind of how i'm feeling.

get it if you can, it's absolutely worth it.

(future posts will be less lame. seriously.)
