Baby, I've been here before. I know this room, I've walked this floor. I used to live alone before I knew you. Yeah, I've seen your flag on the marble arch, But listen, love, love is not some kind of victory march, No, it's a cold and it's a very broken Hallelujah
There was a time you let me know What's really going on below, Ah, but now you never show it to me, do you? Ah, but I remember, yeah, when I moved in you, And the Holy Dove, she was moving too, Yes, and every single breath that we drew was Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
Maybe there's a God above, As for me, all I've ever seemed to learn from love, Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you. Yeah, but it's not a complaint that you hear tonight, It's not the laughter of someone who claims to have seen the light, No, it's a cold and it's a very lonely Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
I did my best, it wasn't much. I couldn't feel, so I learned to touch. I've told the truth, I didn't come all this way to fool you. Yeah, even though it all went wrong I'll stand right here before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah.
