Houdini’s Box (Live) lyrics
by Jill Sobule
[Verse 1]
The box sits on the bridge
The crowd is waiting
The chains are locked upon my chest
There's no heart breaking
[Verse 2]
I’ve done this show a thousand times
This trick's so easy
As they lower me on to your waters
There's no escaping
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a secret passage out of here
But I don't wanna reappear
I just wanna stay with you in here
[Chorus]
In Houdini's box
We'll close the lid
And tie the knot
Houdini's box
[Verse 3]
The clock ticks by the bed
I hear you breathing
I should be out the door
But I'm not leaving
[Pre-Chorus]
I take such good care of you
I brush your hair, untie your shoes
There's nothing in the world I wouldn't do
[Chorus]
In Houdini’s box
Houdini’s box
We'll close the lid
And tie the knot
In Houdini’s box
Houdini's box
Houdini's box
Houdini's box
[Verse 4]
The box sits on the bridge
The crowd’s still waiting
[Outro]
Thanks
