Houdini
I wait at the table,And hold hands with weeping strangers,Wait for youTo join the group.
The tambourine jingle-jangles.The medium roams and rambles.Not taken in,I break the circle.
I want this manTo go away now.
With a kissI'd pass the keyAnd feel your tongueTeasing and receiving.With your spitStill on my lip,You hit the water.
Him and I in the roomTo 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 eternityCan hold Houdini!'
"Rosabel, believe!"
Through the glassI'd watch you breathe.("Not even eternity--")Bound and drowned,And paler than you've ever been.("--will hold Houdini!")
With your lifeThe only thing in my mind--We pull you from the water!
(Houdini!)
You ("Hou-di-ni...")And IAnd Rosabel believe.
