I ‘m trapped here by the sound
Of the sleeping soldiers now
And the cars out on the street
Well they never screamed so loud
And the voices in my head
They whisper [bad word] and proud
And something that they’ve said has got a whole new meaning now

Singing glory hallelujah
How that pain it’ll shoot right through ya
And it sure was fine to knew ya
But, I’m gone, gone, gone

Lord I’m feelin’ fine
Drinkin’ sacramental wine
Got me swimming toward the sky
Til I get caught up in a bind
Lucky, I built the kids a shrine,
That we worship all the time
We just roll the dice and pine
All the loss of love and crime

Singing “Glory Hallelujah…

Until we’re left with only hollow thoughts
And memories we’ve won and lost
Tied our hands with golden knots
And went to tell the others… and I told em

I got a girl at home
Man, I left her all alone
She was crying on the phone
Man, I couldn’t bear to listen
So I screamed ‘til I was tired
I was full of kerosene and lies
I told her, I forgot her eyes
And couldn’t give a [bad word] to kiss her

Singing, glory hallelujah…
(Repeat)

And we were left with only broken glass,
And memories of good things past
Convinced myself that nothing lasts
And went to tell the others… And I told em
