It's all a game of this or that, now versus then Better off against worse for wear And you're someone who knows someone Who knows someone I once knew I just want to be a part of this The road outside my house Is paved with good intentions Hired a construction crew 'Cause it's hell on the engine And you are the dreamer and we are the dream I could write it better than you ever felt it So hum hallelujah Just off the key of reason I thought I loved you, it was just how you looked in the light A teenage vow in a parking lot 'Til tonight do us part I sing the blues and you swallow them too My words are my faith, to hell with our good name Remix of your guts, your insides x-rayed And one day we'll get nostalgic for disaster We're a bull, your ears are just a china shop I love you in the same way There's chapel in a hospital One foot in your bedroom And one foot out the door Sometimes we take chances, sometimes we take pills I could write it better than you ever felt it So hum hallelujah Just off the key of reason I thought I loved you, it was just how you looked in the light A teenage vow in a parking lot 'Til tonight do us part I sing the blues and you swallow them too Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah (hum hallelujah) Hallelujah, hallelujah (hum hallelujah) A teenage vow in a parking lot 'Til tonight do us part I sing the blues and swallow them too So hum hallelujah Just off the key of reason I thought I loved you, just how you looked in the light A teenage vow in a parking lot 'Til tonight do us part Vow in a parking lot (hum hallelujah) 'Til l tonight do us part Teenage vow in a parking lot 'Til tonight do us part I sing the blues and you swallow them too
