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.
