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

And I

And Rosabel believe
