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