OohThe first time that I saw you
I said, "For goodness sake that man's got the power
He's a charmer with a snake"I was thrilled and fascinated but somehow liberated
When you took me to a place I'd never been
You showed me lots of things I'd never seenYou set me free, as if you'd taken me
Halfway up the Hindu Kush
And I love you for showing me the view
From halfway up the Hindu KushThe next time that I saw you
You looked into my eyes
I was sitting on your carpet
When I felt it begin to riseI kinda got the feeling
I was floating to the ceiling
Instead of only looking at the sky
You picked me up and showed me how to flyYou set me free, as if you'd taken me
Halfway up the Hindu Kush
And I love you for showing me the view
From halfway up the Hindu KushFrom halfway up the Hindu
From halfway up the Hindu
From halfway up the Hindu KushYou set me free, as if you'd taken me
Halfway up the Hindu Kush
And I love you for showing me the view
From halfway up the Hindu Kush
Halfway up the Hindu Kush
