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 Coeur 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
What better description of any Abrahamic faith than "Loving the Alien"?

obviously!
And the desciption of the Abrahamic God as an Alien is spot on.
We ascribe things to aliens now that we used to ascribe to demons and angels. And it all encompasses a belief in the STRANGEST THINGS!

I haven't read these lyrics but I do not like David Bowie. He's trying to ride the popularity wave created by Jim Bowie and his famous knife.
