Leonard Cohen - Hum Hallelujah lyrics

[Verse 1] It's all a game of this or that, now versus then They're better off against worse for wear And you're someone who knows someone Who knows someone I once knew And I just want to be a part of this The road outside my house is paved with good intentions Hired a construction crew 'cuz it's hell on the engine And you are the dreamer, and we are the dream I could write it better than you ever felt it [Chorus] So hum hallelujah, just off the key of reason I thought I loved you, it was just how you looked in the light A teenage vow in a parking lot, til tonight do us part I sing the blues and swallow them too [Verse 2] My words are my faith, to hell with our good name A remix of your guts, your insides x-rayed And one day we'll get nostalgic for disaster We're a bull, your ears are just a china shop I love you in the same way, there's a chapel in a hospital One foot in your bedroom, and one foot out the door Sometimes we take chances, sometimes we take pills I could write it better than you ever felt it [Chorus] So hum hallelujah, just off the key of reason I thought I loved you, it was just how you looked in the light A teenage vow in a parking lot, til tonight do us part I sing the blues and swallow them too [Bridge] Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu (Hum hallelujah, hum hallelujah) A teenage vow in a parking lot, till tonight do us part I sing the blues and swallow them too So hum hallelujah, just off the key of reason I thought I loved you, and it's just how you looked in the light A teenage vow in a parking lot, till tonight do us part [Outro] A teenage vow in a parking lot, till tonight do us part A teenage vow in a parking lot, till tonight do us part I sing the blues and swallow them too
