Stranger In The Sacred Heart

David Duchovny

Compositor: Colin Lee / David Duchovny / Pat McCusker and Mitchell Stewart

In the city where my father died
I find it very hard to hide
So many days gone by but I let it slide
Famine, ignorance and war
I keep just outside my door
It’s me myself and I and I let it slide
I let it slide

But down at the Sacred Heart
Everyone plays someone else's part
The strangers in their rows
Pray for people they don't know
Just strangers in the Sacred Heart

My mind alone can't crack the code
In dreams these streets I somehow know
My feet take me where I need to go
They just slide
Just gotta let it slide

Down to the Sacred Heart
Everyone plays someone else's part
The strangers in their rows
Pray for people they don't know
Just strangers In the Sacred Heart

In another mother’s tongue
The universal bell is rung
Haven't done enough for no one
Haven't done enough for no one
Haven’t done enough

So this is where I’ll pay my dues
Anonymous in ancient pews
In Sacre Coeur I lost my pride
I let it die
Just couldn’t let it slide

That's how to mend your heart
Playing someone else's part
The nameless in their rows
Pray for people they don't know
Just strangers in the Sacred Heart
I'm a stranger in the Sacred Heart
