She tied you to a kitchen chair
It's not somebody who's seen the light
Maybe I've been here before
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
You saw her bathing on the roof
There was a time you let me know
And it's not a cry you can hear at night
Maybe there's a God above
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
The holy dark was moving too
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Hallelujah, hallelujah
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And all I ever learned from love
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
The minor fall, the major lift
I used to live alone before I knew you
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know this room, I've walked this floor
Love is not a victory march
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
And remember when I moved in you?
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
The baffled king composing hallelujah
