Gaga revealed the song title in NME magazine. Bloody Mary is quite subtle actually, it's a song about Mary being divine and human at the same time, with a subtext (maybe it's not even a subtext) about the role of a woman who is supposed to be a superstar and a real woman at the same time. Not life alteringly deep perhaps but it works as a pop song. —Lady Gaga

NME magazine described the song as “A dark, pulsing and atmospheric, almost funeral electroballad, one of several tracks including ‘Judas’ with rel

igious references.” Gaga also revealed the concept behind the song. “I believe that Mary Magdalene was both fully divine and fully human. She has to be strong when Jesus fulfills the prophecy to die for everyone’s sins, but she still has the moment of humanity where she’s upset to let him go. She had to be a superstar, but she must have cried too.” On November 19th 2010, Gaga tweeted a part of the lyrics: “When Punk-tius comes to kill the King upon his throne, I'm ready for their stones” Gaga tweeted that the song "is about living halfway between fantasy and reality", and that it was inspired by her car.[1][2]

On May 27, 2011 Gaga also tweeted about Bloody Mary saying:

"(In the song) im struggling between fantasy+reality in bloody mary. it was inspired by my car and Mary Magdalene. (the ultimate rockstar's gf)" LyricsEditMoney, money, money, money, Oh-oh-woah-oh

Love is just a history that they may prove. And when you're gone, I'll tell them my religion's you. When Pontius comes to kill the king upon his throne. I'm ready for their stones.

I'll dance, dance, dance, With my hands, hands, hands, Above my head, head, head, Like Jesus said. I'm gonna dance, dance, dance, With my hands, hands, hands above my head, Hands together, forgive him before he's dead.

Because I won't cry for you, I won't crucify the things you do. I won't cry for you, See, when you're gone, I'll still be Bloody Mary.

(Love)

We are not just art for Michelangelo, To carve, he can't rewrite the agro, Of my furied heart. I'll wait, On mountain tops in Paris cold. Je ne veux pas mourir tout seule.

I'll dance, dance, dance, With my hands, hands, hands, Above my head, head, head, Like Jesus said. I'm gonna dance, dance, dance, With my hands, hands, hands above my head, Hands together, forgive him before he's dead.

Because I won't cry for you, I won't crucify the things you do. I won't cry for you, See, when you're gone, I'll still be Bloody Mary.

(Love)
