Stranger in the Sacred Heart

Stranger in the Sacred Heart - David Duchovny

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 and their rose

Pray for people they don't know

Just strangers in the sacred heart

A man alone can't crack the code

In dreams and 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 and their rose

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 the ancient pews

In Sacré-Cœur I lost my pride

I let it die

Just couldn't let it slide

That's how to mend your heart

Paying someone else's part

The nameless and their rose

Pray for people they don't know

Just strangers in the sacred heart

I'm a stranger in the sacred heart
