Budapest

Album: Ian Anderson Plays The Orchestral Jethro Durasi: 14:04
[00:00.07]I think she was a middle distance runner
[01:26.08]The translation wasn't clear
[01:30.91]Could be a budding stately hero
[01:35.47]International competition in a year
[01:40.20]She was a good enough reason for a party
[01:45.35]Well you couldn't keep up on a hard track mile
[01:50.84]While she ran a perfect circle
[01:55.65]And she wore a perfect smile
[02:01.57]In Budapest
[02:05.87]Hot night in Budapest
[02:10.14]We had a car show up in the old gymnasium
[02:15.27]Dusting off the mandolins and checking on the gear
[02:20.97]Well she was helping out at the backstage
[02:25.88]Stopping hearts and shedding hair
[02:30.44]Yes and her legs went on forever
[02:35.14]Like staring off in infinity
[02:40.58]Through a wisp of cotton panty
[02:45.16]Along a skin of satin sea
[02:51.12]In Budapest
[02:54.56]🎵
[03:02.47]You could cut the heat
[03:04.32]Peel it back with the wrong side of a knife
[03:09.76]Feel it blowing from the side pills
[03:12.30]Feel like you were playing for your life
[03:15.97]If not the money
[03:18.43]Hey hey hey
[03:22.86]Hot night in Budapest
[03:27.46]She bent down to load the icebox
[03:32.11]And she stuffed some more warm white wine in
[03:37.39]Like some weird unearthly vision
[03:42.13]Wearing only T-shirt, pants and skin
[03:47.02]You know we rippled just a hint of muscle
[03:52.07]But the boys and me were heading west
[03:57.62]So we left her till the late late crease
[04:02.23]And a hot night in Budapest
[04:07.74]Woah oh oh
[04:11.53]It was a hot night in Budapest
[06:11.69]🎵
[07:48.59]I thought I saw her at the late night restaurant
[07:53.09]She would have sent blue shivers down the wall
[07:58.79]Yeah, but she didn't grace our table
[08:03.66]In fact, she wasn't there at all
[08:09.16]Yes, her legs went on forever
[08:13.83]Like staring up in infinity
[08:18.94]Her heart was spinning to the westlands
[08:24.24]But she didn't care to be
[08:29.32]That night in Budapest
[08:33.87]Was a hot night in Budapest
[08:39.48]A hot night in Budapest
[08:43.20]Hot night, mmm, in Budapest
[08:54.35]Hot night in Budapest
[08:57.60]Hot night in Budapest
[08:58.57]It was a hot night in Budapest
[09:03.46]Hot night in Budapest
[09:08.48]🎵
[09:37.48]Yeah, but she didn't grace our table
[09:44.67]In fact, she wasn't there at all
[09:50.63]It was a, a hot night in Budapest
