Letra:
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
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
