Loving the Alien Lyrics - David Bowie

1 Watching them come and go

2 The templars and the saracens

3 They're traveling the holy land

4 Opening telegrams oh ho

5 Torture comes and torture goes

6 Knights who'd give you anything

7 They bear the cross of coeur de leon

8 Salvation for the mirror blind oh ho

9 But if you pray all your sins are hooked upon the sky

10 Pray and the heathen lie will disappear

11 Prayers they hide the saddest view

12 (Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)

13 And your prayers they break the sky in two

14 (Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)

15 Thinking of a different time

16 Palestine a modern problem

17 Bounty and your wealth in land

18 Terror in a best laid plan

19 Watching them come and go

20 Tomorrows and the yesterdays oh ho

21 Christians and the unbelievers

22 Hanging by the cross and nail oh ho

23 But if you pray all your sins are hooked upon the sky

24 Pray and the heathen lie will disappear oh ho

25 Prayers they hide the saddest view

26 (Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)

27 And your prayers they break the sky in two

28 (Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)

29 You pray till the break of dawn

30 (Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)

31 And you'll believe you're loving the alien

32 (Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)

33 Believeing the strangest things (loving the alien)
