Houdini - David Lyttle/Duke Special
Written by:David Lyttle/Peter Wilson
I can't swim don't see the land
My demise is a breath away
Slipped the ropes my sleight of hand
Was a die I should not have played
Maybe I was guilty of an arrogance
Reaching for a feat beyond my grasp
The greatest escape artist in the world
Greatest escape artist in the world
The greatest escape artist in the world
Greatest escape artist in the world
Bullet catch and coffin cage
A charmed life where no rules applied
But with each fall and leap of faith
I was buried beneath their lies
Maybe this was magic with a broken wand
Curling back to hit me in the side
The greatest escape artist in the world
Greatest escape artist in the world
The greatest escape artist in the world
Greatest escape artist in the world
Every trick and trap revealing's
A sentence better removed
Truer air from dirt to ceiling
A conscience stripped from the glue
Oh this world of wisdom
Oh this world
Oh this world
Lay me down and say the words
Then I'll leap from the darkest hole
Past and ash and fear and curse
Are rebellions which won't take hold
Maybe I was a guilty of an arrogance
Reaching for a feat beyond my grasp
The greatest escape artist in the world
Greatest escape artist in the world
The greatest escape artist in the world
Greatest escape artist in the world
Greatest escape artist in the world
Greatest escape artist in the world
Greatest escape artist in the world
Greatest escape artist in the world
