New Delhi Lyrics - Rise And Fall - Madness

New Delhi at three A.M. 

Just arrived by K.L.M. 

Left the airport in the heat 

In the bus strange people meet 

Driving through the starless night 

Passing very unusual sights 

Left the bus at five to five 

Caught a taxi started to drive 

He thought I was a millionaire 

And accordingly put up the fare 

Dawn was breaking in the east 

Causing this hot night to cease 

Mosquitos buzzing in my ears 

Grating sound of clashing gears 

Burning rubber filled the air 

Taxi driver began to swear 

The heat was burning my head was turning 

It was then the car broke down 

Just on the outskirts of town 

A camel from the Dhrangadhra 

Silently passed by our car 

A vulture circled high above in the air 

I had to shade my eyes to cover the glare 

Sweating in the plastic seats 

Hard to breathe in the increasing heat
