Lyric Houdini

I wait at the table,
And hold hands with weeping strangers,
Wait for you
To join the group.

The tambourine jingle-jangles.
The medium roams and rambles.
Not taken in,
I break the circle.

I want this man
To go away now.

With a kiss
I d pass the key
And feel your tongue
Teasing and receiving.
With your spit
Still on my lip,
You hit the water.

Him and I in the room
To prove you are with us too.

He s using code that only you and I know.
This is no trick of his.
This is your magic.

I d catch the cues,
Watching you,
Hoping you d do something wrong. Everybody thinks you ll never make it,
But every time,
You escape:

Rosabel believe,
Not even eternity
Can hold Houdini!

"Rosabel, believe!"

Through the glass
I d watch you breathe.
("Not even eternity--")
Bound and drowned,
And paler than you ve ever been.
("--will hold Houdini!")

With your life
The only thing in my mind--
We pull you from the water!

(Houdini!)

You ("Hou-di-ni...")
And I
And Rosabel believe.
