Loving the Alien [Bowie]

(Bap, bap, bap, bap, bap, bap, bap
Bap, bap, bap, bap, bap, bap, bap)

Watching them come and go
The templars and the saracens
They're traveling the holy land
Opening telegrams, whoa, ho

Torture comes and torture goes
Knights who'd give you anything
They bear the cross of coeuf de leon
Salvation for the mirror blind, whoa, ho

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

(Bap, bap, bap, bap, bap, bap, bap
Bap, bap, bap, bap, bap, bap, bap)

Thinking of a different time
Palestine a modern problem
Bounty and your wealth in land
Terror in a best laid plan, whoa, ho

Watching them come and go
Tomorrows and the yesterdays
Christians and the unbelievers
Hanging by the cross and nail, whoa, ho

But if you pray, all your sins are hooked upon the sky
Pray and the heathen lie will disappear, oh, oh, oh, oh

Prayers, they hide the saddest view
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
And your prayers who'll break the sky in two
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)

You'll pray till 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

Bap, bap, bap, bap, bap, bap, bap
Bap, bap, bap, bap, bap, bap, bap)
