Kate Bush - 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
