DRESDEN DOLLS HALLELUJAH (LIVE) LYRICS

From a live show (4-26-2005 Sf)

Now, I've heard there was a secret chord
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
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah


Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
And she tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well maybe I've been here before
I've seen this road, and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
And I've seen the flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

But there was a time, when you let me know
What was really going on below
And now you never show that to me, do you?
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy tub was moving too
And every breath you drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

And maybe there's a god above
But all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who out drew you
And it's not goodbye that you hear at night
Its not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, HALLELUJAH
Hallelujah,
hallelujah
