The box sites on the bridge

The crowd is waiting

The chains are locked across 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

Close the lid

And tie the knot

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

Close the lid

And tie the knot

Houdini's box

In Houdini's box

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

In Houdini's box

Seal the lid

And tie the knot

In Houdini's box

Houdini's box

Houdini's box 

Houdini's box

Houdini's box



The box sites on the bridge

The crowd's still waiting
