David Duchovny
Stranger in the Sacred Heart
[Verse 1]
In the city where my father died
I find it very hard to hide
So many days gone by but I
Let it slide

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
A man alone can't crack the code
In dreams and streets I somehow know
Me feet take me where I need to go
They just slide
Just gotta let it slide
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Outro]
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
