Hallelujah Here She Comes Lyrics
I see you're dressed to kill
I know I can't wait until
Hallelujah, here she comes
I see you're dressed in black
I guess I'm not coming back
Hallelujah, here she comes
Born and raised
On the wrong side of town
You get so high
That you can't come down
(Yeah)
I see the road is rough
You know I'm not giving up
Hallelujah, here she comes
I know where the lady goes
I know she got a ring on her toes
Hallelujah, here she comes
Born and raised
On the wrong side of town
You get so high
That you can't come down
I'm going higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher
I'm gonna be there
When that light's gonna shine
I'm gonna be there
When her heart kindles next to mine
I'm gonna be
Here she comes
Yeah, here she comes
I see you're dressed to kill
I know I can't wait until
Hallelujah, here she comes
I see you're dressed in black
I guess I'm not coming back
Hallelujah, here she comes
Born and raised
In the wrong side of town
You get so high
You can't come down
I'm gonna be there
Higher, higher, higher
Gonna get higher, higher, higher
Gonna get higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher
I'm gonna be there
When that light's gonna shine
I'm gonna be there
When that light's gonna shine
Hallelujah, here she comes
Here she comes
I know I can't wait until
Hallelujah, here she comes
I guess I'm not coming back
Hallelujah, here she comes
On the wrong side of town
You get so high
That you can't come down
(Yeah)
You know I'm not giving up
Hallelujah, here she comes
I know she got a ring on her toes
Hallelujah, here she comes
On the wrong side of town
You get so high
That you can't come down
Higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher
I'm gonna be there
When that light's gonna shine
I'm gonna be there
When her heart kindles next to mine
I'm gonna be
Here she comes
Yeah, here she comes
I know I can't wait until
Hallelujah, here she comes
I guess I'm not coming back
Hallelujah, here she comes
In the wrong side of town
You get so high
You can't come down
Higher, higher, higher
Gonna get higher, higher, higher
Gonna get higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher
When that light's gonna shine
I'm gonna be there
When that light's gonna shine
Here she comes

I'm a total sap for U2's sappy, pseudo-religious love songs. It's a damn shame, frankly.
Nah, it's not a shame... they're solid songs, quite possibly the best. There's nothing wrong with a love song having a deeper meaning and perhaps forcing you to think and face a few dark things, only to see the light. This one is a great one, too. The metaphor and spiritual side of this song are pretty clear and... well, I just love it. Positive, amazingly good rock music... could you POSSIBLY have a problem with this?
It's just a simple Gospel Rock accoustic number. I love it.
could it have something to do with Mother Mary?
Woman of love Cemetery of kisses Tonight I can write the saddest lines Passionate calligraphy On this page—petrified letters Someone Touches my thoughts Searches the garbage Sudden heap of dust At the feet of the light The end drifts off The beginning vanishes The beginning drifts off The end vanishes
Whores at dawn (The enormous mirror—thaws the solitary drinkers …) High tension wires Tattooed by passion The picture empty The picture full On a piece of canvas Plural unique another
[paraphrased poetry]
I can't get a consistent storyline or POV on this song. Is it about a guy overdosing and seeing his wife/girlfriend at his funeral, realizing he's dead? Is it the wife/girlfriend that died of drugs?
Or maybe it's about breaking up, perhaps due to drugs, being from different worlds. Maybe she's wearing a black dress to go to a club/party. Maybe she's cheating on him.
It's been 18 years and I still can't figure it out.
Bono smells like a foreskin.
