Budapest |
I think she was a middle-distance runner… |
(the translation wasnt clear). |
Could be a budding stately hero. |
International competition in a year. |
She was a good enough reason for a party… |
(well, you couldnt keep up on a hard track mile) |
While she ran a perfect circle. |
And she wore a perfect smile |
In budapest… hot night in budapest. |
We had to cozzy up in the old gymnasium… |
Dusting off the mandolins and checking on the gear. |
She was helping out at the back-stage… |
Stopping hearts and chilling beer. |
Yes, and her legs went on for ever. |
Like staring up at infinity |
Through a wisp of cotton panty |
Along a skin of satin sea. |
Hot night in budapest. |
You could cut the heat, peel it back with the wrong side of a knife. |
Feel it blowing from the sidefills. |
feel like you were playing for your life |
(if not the money). |
Hot night in budapest. |
She bent down to fill the ice box |
And stuffed some more warm white wine in Like some weird unearthly vision |
Wearing only t-shirt, pants and skin. |
You know, it rippled, just a hint of muscle. |
But the boys and me were heading west |
So we left her to the late crew |
And a hot night in budapest. |
It was a hot night in budapest. |
She didnt speak much english language… |
(she didnt speak much anyway). |
She wouldnt make love, but she could make good sandwich |
And she poured sweet wine before we played. |
Hey, budapest, cha, cha, cha. |
lets watch her now. |
I thought I saw her at the late night restaurant. |
She would have sent blue shivers down the wall. |
But she didnt grace our table. |
In fact, she wasnt there at all. |
Yes, and her legs went on forever. |
Like staring up at infinity. |
Her heart was spinning to the west-lands |
And she didnt care to be That night in budapest. |
Hot night in budapest. |
