Budapest By Blimp Lyrics - Aliens Ate My Buick - Thomas Dolby

On the corners of boulevards I call your name 

Now and again they play our tune 

In the grip of a tiny hand over a flame 

Pale as the phases of the moon ... 

In the cafes and shopping malls I see your face 

turn into mist on evening dew 

but a book and a photograph just aren't the same 

there is a train that's leaving soon 

...Budapest by Blimp 

Over pillars and palaces I'll hold your hand 

Until the fog is lifted 

May be better you hold me close than understand 

How far away I've drifted 

In the face of a tragedy too bleak to know 

The death of some grand illusion 

All the treasure we pilloried, splendour we stole ... 

They never told you that in school 

KONNYEBB VOLNA TAN FELEDNI 

MINT TAVOZASOM ERTENI 

MULTBOL EGY KISZAK ITTOTT LAP 

EKODBOL INDUL EGY VONAT 

...Budapest by Blimp 

...Que je voudrais vous presenter, messieurs et dames 

Regardez bien, je vous en prie 

Here's a map and a diagram, a shrivelled page 

Ripped from the book of history 

See the priceless antiquity frozen in time 

Built on the ashes of the Jews 

And for your curiosity, beauty sublime 

Signed in the blood of Zulus 

Not really a goosestep, more of a limp
