Hallelujah lyrics

I've been a desperate man

I've been sheltered by a lonely dream

There's a stranger here

Looking back above the bathroom sink

Every night I throw you out

Leave you stranded on the boulevard

You know that I use you up

I used you like I used 'em all

Well the band's singing hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You're all gone. Yeah, you're all gone.

If I could have a simple love

How would it feel and what would it mean?

I'd only trade you away

For Mary Magdalene

Oh, it wouldn't make me insane (a saint ?)

And it would make me the king

And I wouldn't have to wait

Wait around for the real thing

Well the band's singing hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You're all gone. Yeah, you're all gone.

Hallelujah

You're all gone. Oh yeah, yeah, hey.
