Loving the Alien (Single Version)

Watching them come and go

The Templars and the Saracens

They're travelling the holy land

Opening telegrams, woah oh

Torture comes and torture goes

Knights who'd give you anything

They bear the cross of Coeur de Lion

Salvation for the mirror blind, woah oh

But if you pray

All your sins are hooked upon the sky

Pray and the heathen lie will disappear

Prayers they hide the saddest view

(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)

And your prayers, they break the sky in two

(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)

Thinking of a different time

Palestine a modern problem

Bounty and your wealth in land

Terror in a best laid plan, woah oh

Watching them come and go

Tomorrows and the yesterdays

Christians and the unbelievers

Hanging by the cross and nail, woah oh

But if you pray

All your sins are hooked upon the sky

Pray and the heathen lie will disappear, oh

Prayers they hide the saddest view

(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)

And your prayers, they'll break the sky in two

(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)

You pray til the break of dawn

(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)

And you’ll believe you’re loving the alien

(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)

(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
