i am blowing for a trumpet
hallelujah
you stood too close to the sunset
and it finally outgrew ya
so now i paint you on my doorpost
like i knew you
i make all of the right noises
but they never make it to you
i’m as heavy as a feather
hallelujah
you’re a confused little soldier
and the bullets go right through ya
so now i march you to a tinpan
through the alley
so the death angel understands
that i’m gonna take you with me
and we will become
a happy ending
and we will become
a happy ending
i am sinking for the sunset
hallelujah
you’ve been deafened by these trumpets
but my love i’ll listen for ya
so i can paint you on my doorpost
like i knew you
i’ll make all of the right noises
but my love may go right through you
and we will become
a happy ending
and we will become
a happy ending
and we will become
a happy ending
and we will become
a happy ending
we will rejoice
hallelujah
we will rejoice
hallelujah
we will rejoice
hallelujah
we will rejoice
hallelujah
hallelujah
