Well, I heard there was a secret chord,
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
Hallelujah
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.
And she tied you to her kitchen chair.
She broke your throne and cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well, 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
and love is not some victory march:
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well, there was a time when you let me know
what's really going on below,
but now you never show that to me, do you?
Well, remember when I moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath you drew was Hallelujah?
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Oh, mother, I can feel
the soil falling over my head.
And as I climb into an empty bed,
oh, well, enough said.
I know it's over,
still I cling.
I don't know where else I can go.
Over...
Oh, mother, I can feel
the soil falling over my head.
And maybe there is a god above,
but all I ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you.
And it's not a cry that you hear at night,
it's not somebody who's seen the light.
It's a cold and it's a broken, Hallelujah.
Hallelujah
