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...
