Narrative Hallelujah Lyrics

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 it's 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
