I heard there was a secret chord
That david played and it pleased the lord
But you dont 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 Ive been here before
Ive seen this room and Ive walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
Ive seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
Its a cold and its a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah...
Well there was a time when you let me know
Whats really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you?
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed - oh well, enough said
I know its over still I cling, I dont know where else I can go, over and over...
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See the sea it wants to take me, the knife wants to slit (cut) me
Do you think you can help me?
Sad veiled bride please be happy - handsome groom give her room
Loud loutish lover treat her kindly though she needs you
More than she loves you - and I know its over - still I cling
I dont know where else I can go - over and over.....
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Well, maybe theres a God above
But all Ive ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
Its not a cry that you hear at night
Its not somebody whos seen the light
Its a cold and its a broken hallelujah
I just think it's SOOO sexy

To hard on the brakes again,
What if these brakes just give in?
What if they dont get outta the way?
What if theres someone overtaking?
Im going out on a little drive, and it could be the last time I see you alive
There could be an idiot on the road,
The only kick in life is pumping that steel.
Lock me up in the back of the trunk, packed with foam and blind drunk.
They wont ever catch me alive, cause they all drive..
Dont die on the motorway,
The moon would freeze, the plants would die,
I couldnt cope if you crashed today,
All the things I forgot to say,
Im going out on the little drive, and it could be the last time I see you alive,
There could be an idiot on the road, the only kick in life if pumping that steel,
Lock me up in the back of the trunk, packed with foam and blind drunk.
They wont ever catch me alive, cause they all drive...
Killer cars.. yeah..
Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey, hey.. hey..
Wrap me up in the back of a trunk, packed with foam and blind drunk.
They wont ever catch me alive, cause they all drive...
Killer cars...
They all drive... killer cars
They all driiiive....... killer cars
which captures the spirit of my first 20 years on this planet before I got sober.
