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.
