Kate Bush

  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 queues 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

Bound and drowned

And paler than you've ever been

With you life the only thing in my mind

We pull you from the water

          Houdini



You and I and Rosabel believe
