Hallelujah Jordan - Hothouse Flowers

Hallelujah Jordan he went to the nearest bar he ordered

Whiskey and Soda

See how far he’d get to forgetting her

Yeah

He met her in an all night cafe

And they sat all night drinking coffee

And talking, and they found they had a lot in common

And later on they went back to his place and sat till dawn

Laughing, Talking, yeah, they found they had a lot in common

He was young

He had a young spirit

They could have kissed all night

And he knew that he loved her, yeah

But now you’ll find Hallelujah Jordan in some unknown late bar

Trying to tell strange folks his secrets and his problems, yeah

Yeah, you’ll find Hallelujah Jordan in a late bar in the ghetto

Wine stains on his belly and Oh He’ll tell ya

How she was falttered by a smart young man

He drove a fast car and Ooh Ooh she went

Hallelujah Jordan, you can tell me your secrets

You can tell me your problems

I think I know what you mean

Now Hallelujah loves the bottle more brittle than her body

More brittle than the heart that she’d broken, yeah

Hallelujah left this town

The next drink he had he drowned, Oh

Finally drowned his sorrows, Yeah
