Loving The Alien Lyrics - Icehouse

Watching them come and go 

The templars and the saracens 

They're traveling the holy land 

Opening telegrams 

Torture comes and torture goes 

Knights who'd give you anything 

They bear the cross of coeuf de leon 

Salvation for the mirror blind 

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) 

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) 

Thinking of a different time 

Palestine a modern problem 

Bounty and your wealth in land 

Terror in a best laid plan 

Watching them come and go 

Tomorrows and the yesterdays 

Christians and the unbelievers 

Hanging by the cross and nail
