Thomas Dolby - Budapest by Blimp Lyrics
Now and again they play our tuneIn the grip of a tiny hand over a flamePale as the phases of the moon ...In the cafes and shopping malls I see your faceturn into mist on evening dewbut a book and a photograph just aren't the samethere is a train that's leaving soon...Budapest by BlimpOver pillars and palaces I'll hold your handUntil the fog is liftedMay be better you hold me close than understandHow far away I've driftedIn the face of a tragedy too bleak to knowThe death of some grand illusionAll the treasure we pilloried, splendour we stole ...They never told you that in schoolKonnyebb volna tan feledni (Perhaps it would be easier to forget)Mint tavozasom erteni (Than to understand my departure)Multobol egy kiszak itott lap (A torn page from the past)E kodbol indul egy vonat (A train is leaving from this fog)...Budapest by Blimp...Que je voudrais vous presenter, messieurs et damesRegardez bien, je vous en prieHere's a map and a diagram, a shrivelled pageRipped from the book of historySee the priceless antiquity frozen in timeBuilt on the ashes of the JewsAnd for your curiosity, beauty sublimeSigned in the blood of ZulusNot really a goosestep, more of a limp...Budapest by Blimp
