[Verse 1
Guess I got a real bad habit
Of killing 'em all for the taste
It's a love so savage
Where all of your prayers go to waste
Take me by the hand, take me by the hand
Let me lead you honey
To the pearly gates
[Pre-Chorus
Oh, I know, I know
You better than that
But you learned to kill
The ones that hold you back
[Chorus
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-oh
What a beautiful world it is
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-oh
So young and innocent
And they're all crying out your name
Hallelujah, fame
[Verse 2
So hold me now, but not too close
And tell me just what hurts the most
[Pre-Chorus
Oh I know, I know
You better than that
Better learn to kill
The ones that hold you back
[Chorus
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-oh
What a beautiful world it is
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-oh
So young and innocent
And they're all crying out your name
Hallelujah, oh
[Post-Chorus
One by one
Hear me say goodbye
A smoking gun in a sacred light
I'll be the one who drags you down
To the sound of hallelujah
Hallelujah, fame
Hallelujah, fame
