The box sites on the bridge The crowd is waiting The chains are locked upon my chest There's no heart breaking I've done this show a thousand times This trick's so easy As they lower me into your waters There's no escaping There's a secret passage out of here But I don't want to reappear I just want to stay with you in here In Houdini's box We'll close the lid And tie the knot In Houdini's box The clock ticks by the bed I hear you breathing I should be out the door But I'm not leaving I've still the scars from my last escape I nearly drowned beneath the lake Stayed down too long dreaming about you In Houdini's box We'll close the lid And tie the knot Houdini's box I'd take such good care of you I'd brush your hair, untie your shoes There's nothing in the world I wouldn't do In Houdini's box Houdini's box We'll close the lid And tie the knot In Houdini's box Houdini's box Houdini The box sites on the bridge The crowd's still waiting
