Taraneh

Taraneh leaves her homeland
Puts all her faith in one man
Beneath the tar, she hears the rain
Beating in time with the heart of her unborn child
Will she ever see iran again?

Into a room they lead her
Men in white coats assess her
They're not unkind, just so aware
It's damn inconvenient she's there

And here I sit in my air-conditioned bedroom
Watching this and that on my brand new TV
Fooling no one
While another woman cries

Taraneh is no one's fool, she
Knows she'll be a detainee
But when they hear about her pain
Surely they won't lock her up again

And here I sit in my air-conditioned bedroom
Watching this and that on my brand new blu-ray
Fooling no one
While another woman cries

One night such pain besets her
But no one comes to get her
And when the blood begins to flow
She pleads but those cold eyes say no

And here I sit in my air-conditioned bedroom
Watching this and that on my brand new blu-ray
Fooling no one
While another woman cries

While another woman cries
While another woman cries
