Judas My Heart Lyrics
Where I live,
There's a blanket of gauze,
And it covers the scars of the drunks
Who are hungry as ever.
Where I live,
There's a blanket of sighs,
And it covers the stars.
In my heart,
I'm as hungry as ever.
This is the room where we met.
Where I live,
There's a lady
Who walks everywhere on her hands.
Doesn't trust where her feet want to take her.
Where I live,
There's this lady
Who walks everywhere on her hands.
She don't trust where her feet want to take her(not in here).
This is the room where we met(not in here).
This is the dress I had on.
This is not the moment that you fear
When you wake up and no one is there.
Low hangs the moon, oh oh,
Inside this room.
Low hangs the moon, oh oh,
Inside this room.
So that I'm a witness when you
Judas my heart.
Judas my heart.
Where I live there's a blanket of sighs
And it covers the stars.
In my heart,
I'm as hungry as ever.
Where I live,
I'm afraid that I walk everywhere on my hands,
I don't trust where my feet want to take me(not in here).
This is the room where we met(not in here).
This is the dress I had on.
This is not the moment I fear
I say, "I" 'stead of "she."
Now you're here.
Low hangs the moon, oh oh,
Inside this room.
Low hangs the moon, oh oh,
Inside this room.
So that I'm a witness when you
Judas my heart
Judas my heart
Judas my heart
Judas my heart
Can I get a witness when you Judas my heart again?
Can I get a witness when you do this to my heart again?
Can I get a witness when you Judas my heart again?
Where I live,
There's a lady who walks everywhere on her hands.
Just like me doesn't trust
Where her feet want to take her again
And her feet want to take her again
And her feet want to take her again.
She loves me, yeah, yeah, yeah.
She loves me, yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's a blanket of gauze,
And it covers the scars of the drunks
Who are hungry as ever.
Where I live,
There's a blanket of sighs,
And it covers the stars.
In my heart,
I'm as hungry as ever.
This is the room where we met.
Where I live,
There's a lady
Who walks everywhere on her hands.
Doesn't trust where her feet want to take her.
Where I live,
There's this lady
Who walks everywhere on her hands.
She don't trust where her feet want to take her(not in here).
This is the room where we met(not in here).
This is the dress I had on.
This is not the moment that you fear
When you wake up and no one is there.
Low hangs the moon, oh oh,
Inside this room.
Low hangs the moon, oh oh,
Inside this room.
So that I'm a witness when you
Judas my heart.
Judas my heart.
Where I live there's a blanket of sighs
And it covers the stars.
In my heart,
I'm as hungry as ever.
Where I live,
I'm afraid that I walk everywhere on my hands,
I don't trust where my feet want to take me(not in here).
This is the room where we met(not in here).
This is the dress I had on.
This is not the moment I fear
I say, "I" 'stead of "she."
Now you're here.
Low hangs the moon, oh oh,
Inside this room.
Low hangs the moon, oh oh,
Inside this room.
So that I'm a witness when you
Judas my heart
Judas my heart
Judas my heart
Judas my heart
Can I get a witness when you Judas my heart again?
Can I get a witness when you do this to my heart again?
Can I get a witness when you Judas my heart again?
Where I live,
There's a lady who walks everywhere on her hands.
Just like me doesn't trust
Where her feet want to take her again
And her feet want to take her again
And her feet want to take her again.
She loves me, yeah, yeah, yeah.
She loves me, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like most belly songs, this one is very difficult to interpret. Here's my best crack:
"Judas" is used here as a verb meaning "betray" (Judas betrays Jesus in the bible).
The singer has been been hurt and abused and so she's closed herself off to protect herself. I think "the scars of the drunks" means her scars caused by drunks in her life. She's covered the scars with a "blanket of gauze" and a "blanket of sighs."
Then she talks about a lady that "walks everywhere on her hands, doesn't trust where her feet want to take her." This is an allegory for not trusting yourself and not trusting your instincts. "This is the room where we met." In other words, this is the state I was in when you came into my life. She's crippled by the fear of "that moment" when you "wake up and no one is there." That is to say, the fear of being hurt again. "Judas my heart" means "betray me."
The key twist in the song, I think, is when she changes the words to I'm afraid that I walk everywhere on my hands, I don't trust where my feet want to take me.
Then a few lines later:
I say, "I" 'stead of "she." Now you're here.
Once she recognizes that SHE is the lady that walks everywhere on her hands she can open up and let the person in. Instead of waking up and "no one is there," it's "Now you're here."
Beautiful song with a wonderfully crafted message.
