Hallelujahs

Come as you are
Stay if you want to
Kick off your shoes
Lay it all bare
Nursing a bruise
Cursing the weather
Cradling words to your too tight chest

And I will come inside to amuse you
Make you more comfortable
Make your heart beat, oh
Until we're singing sweet hallelujahs
And burning effigies
Pile them on the heat

Call me again
Long as you want to
Get under my skin
Get into my head
Drawing you in
Light as a feather
Deep as the dark we're all wading in, oh

And I will come inside to amuse you
Make you more comfortable
Make your heart beat, oh
Until we're singing sweet hallelujahs
And burning effigies
Pile them on the heat
Pile them on the heat

And there are no easy victories when it's making you ill
Find some gravity, no more mystery
And every ego's a casualty with a glint in the eye
Keep away from me
Keep away from the side
The side
