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
You´re all gone. Oh yeah, yeah, hey.
