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.
