Icehouse
Loving the Alien
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Watching them come and go
The Templars and the Saracens
They're traveling the Holy Land
Opening telegrams, hmm mmm

Torture comes and torture goes
Knights who'll give you anything
They bear the cross of Cœur de Lion
Salvation for the mirror blind, ooh ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
But if you pray
All your sins are hooked on the sky
Pray and the heathen lie will disappear

[Chorus 1]
Prayers may hide the saddest view
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
And your prayers may break the sky in two
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)

[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
Thinking of a different time
Palestine a modern problem
Bounty and your wealth in land
Terror is the best made plan, hmm mmm

Watching them come and go
Tomorrows and the yesterdays
Christians and the unbelievers
Hanging by the cross and nail, hmm mmm

[Pre-Chorus]
But if you pray
All your sins are hooked on the sky
Pray and the heathen lie will disappear

[Chorus 1]
Prayers may hide the saddest view
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
And your prayers may break the sky in two
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)

[Chorus 2]
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)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)

[Outro]
