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