Lyrics

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

Hallelujah
