Strange Thing Mystifying
Jesus Christ Superstar - 20th Anniversary London Cast Lyrics

Judas:
It seems to me a strange thing
Mystifying
That a man like you
Can waste his time
On women of her kind

Simon (spoken):
Hey, cool it man
Judas:
Yes, I can understand that
She amuses
But to let her kiss you, stroke your hair
That's hardly in your line

It's not that I object to her profession
But she doesn't fit in well
With what you teach and say
It doesn't help us if you're inconsistent
They only need a small excuse to put us all away

Jesus:
Who are you to criticize her
Who are you to despise her
Leave her, leave her, let her be now
Leave her, leave her, she's with me now
If your slate is clean then you can throw stones
If your slate is not then leave her alone

Apostles (spoken):
Jesus, hey, Jesus, wait (etc)

Jesus:
I'm amazed that men like you
Can be so shallow, thick, and slow
There is not a man among you
Who knows or cares if I come or go

Apostles:
No, you're wrong, you're very wrong
(Repeat x4)
How can you say that?
(Repeat x4)

Jesus:
Not one
Not one of you!
