She stood spot lit in a plain print dress Came howling out of the wilderness There beat a cunning and murderous heart Beneath that calm exteriorYou know my name, you don't know my mind Don't doubt my eyes, they betray the past And I've already forgotten Much more than you will ever knowEvery word that I have spoken is true Except the ones that have been broken in two Trying to make peace after the long night of pretend Need a pawnbroker or a moneylenderWhy do you do me down, Mister? Sing "Hallelujah", sister Turn up the volume just to turn it down The trivial secrets buried with the profound It's enough to put a church underground It's enough to put a church undergroundDeflowered young and then ever since She's tried to wash off his fingerprints So every charlatan and prince Was made to feel inferiorShe worked for tips in a 10-cent dance Said moving pictures might pay perchance 10,000 one-way tickets to the sparkling coast From the blank interiorEverybody's either talking in code Or getting ready to explode And she was singing in a five-piece band Seems that no one really wants this soundWhy do you do me down, Mister? Sing "Hallelujah", sister Turn up the volume just to turn it down The trivial secrets buried with the profound It's enough to put a church underground It's enough to put a church undergroundThe shaft of fanlight streaked with rain Poured through the glass, punched through the pain A holy picture hidden in the midden of that poisoned stitch Her lonely voice was just a ruin in these richesShe must have been dreaming this all along Could she be redeeming herself in song? I'm no one's martyred, plaster saint Below the grease, beneath the paintI'm rolling like barrel, swinging like a gallows I'm rising up fast like all hell and all hallowsWhy do you do me down, Mister? Sing "Hallelujah," sister I'll be damned or purgatory bound Before those jokers ever understandIt's enough to put a church underground It's enough to put a church underground It's enough to put a church underground
