Songtexte
Step inside, feast your eyes
While the ticket price is low
Take a seat with the elite
I will now begin the show
Cue the lights hold on tight
Is this fact or fantasy
Some will call it misdirection
See there's nothing up my sleeve
See this watch watch it move
It’s so soothing as it sways
When I snap my little fingers
You will do just what I say
Put your hands inside your pockets
Lend me every last red cent
If you're looking for a profit
Don't you know that you I am it
It's the Houdini WhoDunnit
Traveling magic show
Here’s an ordinary dollar
And then poof - where did it go?
I can see into the future
I can take you to the past
I can make a human disappear
But I can't bring him back
You sir there in that chair
Won’t you be part of the show
I will manifest your dreams and
Get you back to digging coal
Volunteer come up here
Won’t you join me on the stage
I need beautiful and buxom
I want less than half my age
Ladies, gents see what’s next
Now we put her in a box
I shall cut her clean in half
And throw away the part that talks
Who was she? Who was who?
I don’t know just what you mean
You did not see what you say you saw
I’ll tell you what you’ve seen
It's the Houdini WhoDunnit
Traveling magic show
Here’s an ordinary dollar
And then poof - where did it go?
I can see into the future
I can take you to the past
I can make a human disappear
But I can't bring him back
Step right up, drink this cup
It’s a tonic for your trust
Taste the cure for all your worries
Let it settle in your gut
To my right you will find
My assistant in a cage
Free your conscience from those shackles
Do you think that he’ll escape?
To my left as you guessed
Sits a thousand gallon tank
We will lower him inside
All you need to do is wait
Hoist the rope, watch him go
Hold your breath in as he dives
Then we’ll drape him in a blanket
And we’ll see if he survives
Start the clock, no one talk
Cue the curtain, end the show
If you never see him vanish
Then I guess you’ll never know
Hocus pocus presto chango
Oh this pledge I’ve made is true
You say magic isn’t real but look
At all you've let me do
It's the Houdini WhoDunnit
Traveling magic show
Here’s an ordinary dollar
And then poof - where did it go?
I can see into the future
I can take you to the past
I can make a human disappear
But I can't bring him back
