Yeah, I uh, I recorded this song in 2005 (a bonus track on "Whitesican") I tried to sing really hard, and uh (very, very hard) it didn't really work out too well (not at all), so I figured I'd record it, re-record it, (re-re-record it) and see how it goes.. But I still think we should get a female to sing background (I agree) I think it'd sound good…
Well I've heard there was a secret chord (secret chord)
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you? (You don't care at all)
It goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof (needed proof)
You saw her bathing on the roof (on the roof)
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you (You were done for)
And she tied you to her kitchen chair (yeah)
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair (cut your hair)
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah (it was over)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, baby, I've been here before, (uh)
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor (walked this floor)
I used to live alone before I knew you (that was a long time ago)
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch (uh)
But love is not a victory march, (nope)
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah (cold and a broken Hallelujah)
Well, there was a time when you let me know (let me know)
What's really going on below (on below)
But now you never show that to me, do you? (you upline this onto the world)
But remember when I moved in you, (uh)
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah (just breath)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there is a God above (absolutely)
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you ("Put your hands up")
And it's not a cry that you hear at night (nope)
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah (cold and a broken Hallelu…)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
(Hallelujah) Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, (Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu, Halle...)
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
