Towers Of Faith (K.A.O.S. Mix)

Lyrics

[Intro: Claire Torry] Ooh, the lonely boys In their towers of faith Oh, the lonely boys Locked in their towers of faith [Verse 1: Roger Waters, Claire Torry] The prophet reclined on the Golan Heights (Oh, the lonely boys) He said, this land is my land to the Shiites (Oh, the lonely boys) And Jehovah looked up from the Sea of Galilee beneath He said, "I see you, you thief!" [Chorus 1: Roger Waters, Claire Torry] This land is my land And this sand is my sand And this band is my band (Oh, the lonely boys Lookin' over their shoulder Checkin out every boulder in the park Where the gates are closed from hate After dark) [Verse 2: Roger Waters] And the Pope rolled up in his armored van He fell on his knees and kissed the land He said something that I did not understand It was in polish Then up stepped an aid, he said "I will translate" Here is what His Holiness said: [Chorus 2: Roger Waters] "I am the Chief Jesuit This land is Jesus' land And that is all, all that there is to it." [Interlude: Roger Waters] Hail Mary Mother of God [Verse 3: Roger Waters, Claire Torry] And in New York City The businessman in his mohair suit In the world trade center Puffs on his cheroot (Oh, the lonely boys) And he said, "Well, I don't care who owns the desert sands. My brief is with the hydrocarbons underneath." And the sea of battle rages Around the ancient tombs And Mother Nature licks her wounds And the lonely boys locked in their towers of faith Who are nervous in the park When the gates are closed after dark [Outro: Claire Torry] Ooo, the lonely boys In their towers of faith Oh, the lonely boys Locked in their towers of faith
