Houdini waits till he dies
Then he lets himself out of jail tonight
He says that love is a place you can hide
When you know you're going to loose the fight
Sure hope houdi's right
Mia Samuel writes letters from up stairs
Never meaning to send
You open them and you find that your time is
Getting near the end
Hold on to me old friend
Locked inside a glass so high
Well the water's cold- you almost die
Well I can't get hard and I can't get high
Houdini died tonight
Don't break the glass to let me out
Don't break the dream by showing doubt
I'm naked and in chains again
Houdini died tonight
You come home like an angel trapped in a human
uniform
I told you once that I never thought you'd see me
in love and looking worn
But my straight Jacket has been torn
Houdini died and tonight I know my dreams won't
ever fly again
I lost illusion and now I'm just cruising'
Trying to get back my old friend
Won't you hold on to me old friend
Locked inside a glass so high
Well the water's cold- you almost die
Well I can't get hard and I can't get high
Houdini died tonight
Don't break the glass to let me out
Don't break the dream by showing doubt
I'm naked and in chains again
Houdini died tonight
Tonight I know all the answers
Because you told me the secret
An I know I'm never gonna dream again....
