Straight out of Abilene
He's bustin' at the seams
Immune to whisky
Man it's down to a shot of
gasoline
This ain't no Romeo
This here's a one man show
Livin' on a dare
Thinkin' he'll become a legend
One more fever diggin' for
fools gold
Fast lane freeway to the
glory hole
'Cos he's
Livin' it up
In No Man's Land
Tonight's the night
Gonna get to heaven
Livin' it up
In No Man's Land
Too fast to live
Too young to die
He named his limousine
The Mississippi Queen
Better never look inside
'Cos things get a little
bit messy
This party never ends
Plenty of so-called friends
Payin' homage to heroes
They will never see again
Where will you wind up
I'll never know
Fast land freeway to the
glory hole
'Cos he's
Livin' it up
In No Man's Land
Tonight's the night
Gonna get to heaven
Livin' it up
In No Man's Land
Too fast to live
Too young to die
One more fever diggin' for
fools gold
Fast lane freeway to the
glory hole
The headline read
He finally made it
No return
Baby see him fly
Livin' it up
In No Man's Land
Tonight's the night
Gonna get to heaven
Livin' it up
In No Man's Land
Too fast to live
Too young to die"Loving the Alien"
Album: "Tonight" ('84)
Watching them come and go
The templars and the saracens
They're traveling the holy land
Opening telegrams oh ho
Torture comes and torture goes
Knights who'd give you anything
They bear the cross of coeur de leon
Salvation for the mirror blind oh 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)
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 oh ho
Christians and the unbelievers
Hanging by the cross and nail oh ho
But if you pray all your sins are hooked upon the sky
Pray and the heathen lie will disappear oh ho
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 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)
Believeing the strangest things (loving the alien)
