Houdini

I wait at the table
And hold hands with weeping strangers
Wait for you
To join the groupThe tambourine jingle-jangles
The medium roams and rambles
Not taken in
I break the circleI want this man
To go away nowWith a kiss
I'd pass the key
And feel your tongue
Teasing and receivingWith your spit
Still on my lip
You hit the waterHim and I in the room
To prove you are with us tooHe's using code that only you and I know
This is no trick of his
This is your magicI'd catch the cues
Watchin' you
Hopin' you'd do somethin' wrongEverybody thinks you'll never make it
But every time
You escapeRosabel, believe
Not even eternity
Can hold HoudiniRosabel, believeThrough 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 waterHoudiniYou
(Houdini)
And I
And Rosabel believe
