John Cale Hallelujah Lyrics

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?
It goes like this the fourth the fifth
The minor fall the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-ujah

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 a kitchen chair,
she broke your throne, she cut your hair,
and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-ujah

Maybe I have been here before,
I know this room; I've walked this floor,
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch,
love is not a victory march,
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-ujah

There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me do you?
Remember when I moved in you
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-ujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And it's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-ujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-ujah
