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

[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
