Actually, you are right. It is Punk-tius. You can clearly hear the K sound and she once tweeted the lyrics too, and she wrote Punk-tius. See the link below :)

I think the wordplay here is: Pontius killed the King (Jesus) upon his throne... "his" referring to Pontius, who, while on his throne killed Jesus (the King who could also be argued to have been on his own throne)..and then PUNK-tius killing the KING refers to punk music killing rock and roll (as in, Elvis, the King).. GaGa is making a side commentary to be playful in the song. Does that sound valid? Haha

When she says "Pontius," she's actually saying "Punk-tius." I thought it was clever.
And those first lyrics by jommy are /really/ wrong. xD

Oh, I lied. xD I looked up the digital booklet. It's not Punk-tius, or punctures. It's Pontius.

@Jabuleen I thought she was using a kind of word-play on a Christian reference, but I was wrong.
