Madness Lyrics for Song: New Delhi
 Lyrics for Album: The Rise & Fall [1982]
 
 
 
 38757>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
 
 
 
 Lying back my mind started to
 
 Drift into an uneasy sleep
 
 I dreamt I was in New Delhi
 
 Slowly dying of la grippe
 
 38757>
