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 true 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 damn 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
