Shotgun Hallelujah

(album: Kindness Is The New Rock And Roll - 2018)

His big mistake was cutting you out of his life
Slicing your heart with a kitchen knife
Into six little pieces every night
The hell he locked you in will surround him
So let the devil be his name, let the devil be his name

I'll sing you a heaven
I'll sing you a heaven
Give you the glory
All of the glory
Bathe in my river
Wet your skin in my water
I'm no angel
Just a lovesick loser
Sing it and shout that shotgun hallelujah

He held a red hot iron in a fist of rings
He cut your hair and he burned your skin
And he buckled your halo and broke your wings
He smeared an ash cloud over your rainbow
So let the devil be his name
Let the devil be his name

I'll sing you a heaven
I'll sing you a heaven
Give you the glory
All of the glory
Bathe in my river
Wet your skin in my water
I'm no angel
Just a lovesick loser
Sing it and shout that shotgun hallelujah
Sing it and shout that shotgun hallelujah

Hallelujah, singing hallelujah in your head
Hallelu, hallelujah in your bed
Dressed in red, [?]
With a widows peak and jet blue eyes
And bright black jeans, holding a rose gold gun
Stood the holy sun

I'll sing you to heaven
I'll sing you a heaven
Give you the glory
All of the glory
Bathe in my river
Wet my skin in my water
Well, I'm no angel
Just a lovesick loser
Let the devil be his name
I'm no angel
Just a lovesick loser
Let the devil be his name
No, I'm no angel
Just a lovesick loser
Let the devil be his name
No, I'm no angel
Just a lovesick loser
Sing to the fucked up shotgun hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Sing to the fucked up shotgun hallelujah
