I`ve been a desperate man
I`ve been sheltered by a lonely dream
There`s a stranger here
Looking back above the bathroom sink
Every night I throw you out
Leave you stranded on the boulevard
You know that I use you up
I used you like I used `em all
Well the band`s singing hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You`re all gone. Yeah, you`re all gone.
If I could have a simple love
How would it feel and what would it mean?
I`d only trade you away
For Mary Magdalene
Oh, it wouldn`t make me insane (a saint ?)
And it would make me the king
And I wouldn`t have to wait
Wait around for the real thing
Well the band`s singing hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You`re all gone. Yeah, you`re all gone.
