  Theme Song for Brad Kronen's "House of Boo's" Week 2: Ghosts and Hauntings - Kate Bush's Houdini
  

  
  
  

  Houdini

  By Kate Bush

   

  I wait at the table,
  And hold hands with weeping strangers,
  I 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.
