(Verse 1) Watching from the cab, the Danube is a glass, Night lights of Budapest, watching beauty pass. The Parliament’s a giant, heavy in the air, The Citadella’s colors, a patriotic flare. Buda Castle rising, the Church and Bastion high, Enchanted castles glowing underneath the sky. Hotels in a flood of light, diamonds in the dark, But every golden street-lamp hides a dangerous spark. (Pre-Chorus) Couples heading home, the party district’s hum, The concert’s over now, the night is feeling numb. Lánchíd, Margaret Island, wandering the streets, Survivors of the club-life, seeking quiet retreats. Yellow cabs like busy ants, crawling through the veins, In the airport buffer, the dawn is washing off the stains. (Chorus) Enjoy the vibe, my friend, but keep your senses sharp, The city plays a tune, but don't trust every harp. Watch your pockets, check the cab, check the dinner bill, The beauty here is real, but the danger has a thrill. What’s your face in our town? Come and see the sight, We’ll wait for you next year, back in the neon light.
