High as a kite in Budapest
looking out from the Citadella
and I have to tell ya,
it’s one hell of a view.
With headphones on
the skyline’s drawn
out in fireflies
that flicker red and white.
And the river’s ripe
with the city lights
that sparkle bright
in the summer night.
The twilight glow
is sinkin’ low
and it’s pulling me
like an undertow.
And across the bridge
there’s a sacred wish
that has cast a spell
like a sorceress.
I can’t get my fill
of the sights that spill
out before my eyes
from this lit up hill.
Though I’ve not the time
to fulfill my mind,
I’d still cast my gaze
if it’d leave me blind.
No I can’t control
what the days may hold,
but these city lights
can soothe my aching soul.
Oh who knows what this life might be bringin’,
but tonight I just can’t keep from singin’
how I’m…
High as a kite in Budapest
looking out from the Citadella
and I have to tell ya,
it’s one hell of a view.
Yeah the skyline’s drawn
in the gleaming dawn.
Just a silhouette;
all my fears are gone.
Man the twilight’s glow’s
like an undertow
that just pulls me down
till my mind is blown.
And the city lights
sparkle oh-so-bright
like neon diamonds
in the night.
Oh my gaze is locked
on this sacred plot
where it seems that the ancient
Gods must have dropped
all of heaven’s grace,
all of heaven’s might,
on this blissful and beautiful
Budapest night…
Oh who cares what the future is bringing.
Oh tonight I just can’t help but singing.
