Foreign Country

(Album: Somebody's Watching Me - 1984)

(Flight 007 now landing)
(Foreign, foreign)
Flight 007 now landing at the Iraq airport
Our arrival time will be 4:37 PM
For your convenience, travel folders have been placed in the compartment directly in front of you
Please fasten your seatbelts
Sit forward in the passenger section in a relaxed position
And extinguish all flame
(Foreign country)
We hope you have enjoyed your flight from Iraq Airlines
(Foreign country)
And to anyone enjoying your stay in our foreign country

Out of the mist, we fall into the new world
The flight attendant takes my hand
Can't speak my language, but I get her message
So glad I'm in this strange new land
I take my luggage to the customs man who
Looks at me with suspicious eyes
I wish he'd hurry, I got two weeks left, I
Feel like I'm running out of time

Please do behave in a foreign country
Detente may depend on you
Don't be afraid to enjoy yourself
You must become accustomed to the new atmosphere here, yeah

Foreign country
Foreign country

This currency is not the kind I'm used to
No Lincolns, Jeffersons or Grants
Where is the music that I'm used to hearing?
No Culture Club or Adam Ants
And yet I must be on my best behavior
And not offend the heads of state
Could learn the language and the local customs
By then, it just may be too late

Please do behave in a foreign country
Detente may depend on you
Don't be afraid to enjoy yourself
You must become accustomed to the new atmosphere here, yeah

Foreign country
Foreign country

Please do behave in a foreign country
'Cause detente may depend on you
And don't be afraid to enjoy yourself
You must become accustomed to the new atmosphere here, yeah

Please behave yourself
In a foreign country
(Please enjoy yourself) Please enjoy yourself
In a foreign country
Please behave yourself (Foreign country)
In a foreign country

Foreign country

Detente could depend on you
