Lyrics
I've been a desperate man
I've been sheltered by a lonely dream
There's a stranger here
Lookin' back above the bathroom sink
And every night I throw you out
Leave you stranded on a 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 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
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
You're all gone
Oh yeah, yeah, hey
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
