Underneath a veil of night Underneath a veil of night and Woken by a storm Listening to crowds that howl and fight Governments will fall Leaving in a trail of light Leaving in a trail of light and Flying Iran Air Looking down on every street in sight Every park and square From the only world I've known I can't stay, I can't stay
Take me to another place Far away, far away Underneath a London sky Underneath a London sky that's Lower by the day Working someone else's nine-to-five For someone else's pay Living for a secret sign Living for a secret sign and Dreaming Iran Air Looking up at every pa**ing flight Every one a prayer
