Hallelujah (Live)

I heard there was a secret

that David played

and it pleased the lord

but you don't really care for music

do you

Well it goes like this

the fourth, the fifth

the minor fall and the major lift

the baffled king

composing hallelujah

Hallelujah...

Well your faith was strong

but you needed proof

you saw her bathing on the roof

her beauty and the moonlight

overthrew you

She tied you to her kitchen chair

she broke your throne

and she cut your hair

and from your lips

she drew the hallelujah

Hallelujah...

Baby I've been here before

I've seen this room

and I've walked this floor

I used to live alone

before I knew you

I've seen your flag

on the marble arch

but love is not a victory march

It's a cold

and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah...

Maybe there's a god above

but all I've ever learned from love

was how to shoot somebody

who outdrew you

It's not a cry that you hear at night

It's not someone

who's seen the light

and it's a cold

and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah...
