Lyrics

Escape To Houdini?s Grave

She takes a little skip right out of the rain
And she shakes off her umbrella
She takes the train a thousand mornings before
And she always knows the weather
I try and look at her through bloodshot eyes
And a head that?s dumb from aching
I need a shower, I could use a good shave
But she best not be mistaken

In my better days
I made my escape to Houdini?s grave
With a girl who didn?t mind the rain

Too many tears had started streaking her face
I was a hoax in need of practice
Smart enough to lose her faith in love
But she still believed in magic
I know a place where the master lays
As he works his best escape twist
Put your coat on and I?ll take you today
And I?ll make a solemn promise

Before the setting sun
Before the setting sun is washed away
You?re gonna take my hand, you?re gonna say my name

You?re crazy lady if you look in my eyes
And believe in what they?re showing
Smart enough to come in from the rain
But you can?t follow where I?m going

I?m gonna make my way
Make my way back to Houdini?s grave
Make my great escape in the pouring rain

I don?t mind the rain?
