about

I was sitting in the garden, Looking at the sky
Waiting for your call, A Sunday morning virtual
Swatting words Like ping pong balls
Across the line
Across the world

I called you Houdini
You could escape from anywhere
Break the bonds of this world
Fly high into the air
Houdini, You were never there

Maybe we talk politics, Sometimes religion
We always cycle back to that house upon the hill
Its doors that had no locks
Possums fighting in the ceiling
Where we stumbled and we fell
Full of secrets we can never tell

I called you Houdini
You could escape from anywhere
Break the bonds of this world
Fly high into the air
Houdini, you were never there

We stand on the tragedies that come before us
And the best that we can do is something different
Something different

I called you Houdini
You could escape from anywhere
Break the bonds of this world
Fly high into the air
I called you Houdini
You could escape from anywhere
Break the bonds of this world
Fly high into the air


Houdini, you were never there
You were never there
You were never there
