Stranger in the Sacred Heart

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 Playing 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
