가사
[Verse 1]
Her parents named her Hallelujah
The kids, they called her Holly
But if she scared you then she's sorry
She's been stranded at these parties
These parties, they start lovely
But they get druggy, and they get ugly, and they get bloody
[Verse 2]
The priest just kinda laughed
The deacon caught a draft
She crashed into the Easter Mass with her hair done up in broken glass
She was limping left on broken heels, and she said
"Father, can I tell your congregation how a resurrection really feels?"
[Verse 3]
Holly was a hoodrat
And now you finally know that
And she's been disappeared for years
Today she finally came back
[Verse 4]
St. Louis had enslaved me
I guess Santa Ana saved me
And St. Peter had me on the queue
The St. Paul Saints they waved me through
And I was all wrapped up in some video booth
When I heard her say "I love you too"
[Verse 5]
She said "I laid beneath my lovers
But I've never gotten laid"
Some nights she felt protected
Some nights she felt afraid
And she spent half last winter just to try to get paid
From some guy she'd originally thought to be her savior
[Verse 6]
They wrote her name in magic marks
On stop signs and subway cars
They got a mural up on East 13th that said
"Hallelujah, rest in peace"
[Verse 7]
Hallelujah was a hoodrat
And now you finally know that
She's been disappeared for years
Today she finally came back
[Verse 8]
Walk on back, and walk on back
[Verse 9]
(Walk on back) She said, "Don't turn me on again
(Walk on back) And I'll probably just go and get myself all gone again"
(Walk on back) Don't turn me on again
(Walk on back) And I'll probably just go and
(Walk on back) Go and get myself all gone again
So don't turn me on again
(Walk on back)
And I'll probably just go and get myself all gone again
(Walk on back)
Hallelujah was a sexy mess, and she looked strung out but experienced
(Walk on back)
Yeah, so we all got kind of curious (Walk on back)
[Verse 10]
(Walk on back)
(Walk on back)
(Walk on back)
(Walk on back)
(Walk on back)
(Walk on back)
(Walk on back)
(Walk on back)
