[Verse 1]
I wait at the table
And hold hands with weeping strangers
Wait for you to join the group

[Verse 2]
The tambourine, jingle-jangle
The medium roams and rambles
Not taken in, I break the circle

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I want this man
To go away now

[Chorus 1]
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

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
Everybody thinks you'll never make it
But every time you escape
Rosabel, believe
Not even eternity
Can hold Houdini!
"Rosabel, believe!"

[Chorus 2]
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...

[Interlude]

[Outro]
You
And I
And Rosabel believe

Kate Bush is an art pop singer and songwriter from Bexleyheath, a suburb of London, England. Her debut single “Wuthering Heights” hit number one on the UK charts in 1978, winning her a Brit award for best female performance, and propelling her into fame.

She went on to write, record and produce ten studio albums including her UK bestselling fifth album, Hounds of Love in 1985.

She is known for her experimental musical style and live performances, but has only toured twice – first in 1979 then 35 years later in 2014 – both of which have received releases in the form of either an EP, LP and/or video.
