Kate Bush Houdini Lyrics

Houdini Lyrics

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.
