Hallelujah - The Narrative

You were only giving me the time of day

And it was hard for me to keep that smile straight

In the corner of the bar around the way from me

But i knew what would become of us that night

Everybody else was judging through the corners of their eyes

And i could hardly tell you any single truth

Or move

And hallelujah

Me and all my friends

Waiting for the sun

To make us new again

Or finally burn up

And bring us to our end

We are not all quite as blessed as we may seem

I’ve got these looks but i can’t keep my body clean

But i know that i can use my tongue to speak and sing

Hallelujah

Me and all my friends

Waiting for the sun

To bring us to our end

Or finally burn up

And make us free again

And hallelujah

I am free again

And praise the good old lord

But do not wait for him

'cause he won’t save your soul

Or clean it of its sins

So let’s soak in them

Hallelujah

Me and all my friends

Waiting for the sun

To make us new again

Or finally burn up

And bring us to our end
