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 passing flight
Every one a prayer
