Rick Springfield — Judas Tree Song 4 on The Snake King

Judas Tree (Lyrics & music by Rick Springfield) There's a Judas Tree up on the hill And a body's hanging there There's a Judas Tree up on the hill Yeah a body's hangin' there Nobody wants to cut it down Nobody seems to care There's silver in his pocket baby And there's blood upon his hands He put religion on a rocket Missionaries in the bad, badlands Love was in that Judas kiss But nobody really understands Love is a curse And you keep reeling from the blows What makes it so much worse Y'all think you're Juliets and Romeos But you keep running to your mistresses And your pretty gigolos They say when you die hanging You get hard as you go down They say when you die hanging You get hard as you go down I think I'll cut poor Judas loose From the tree And I'll take him underground
