Bolt me down
& tie my wrists
Flash your eyes
I will resist
You’re never going to catch me
With your kiss
I’m Houdini of the heart
 
So love me lover
But right or wrong
I’ll disappear before too long
There’s nothing I can’t escape from
I’m Houdini of the heart
 
Try: feed me oysters, figs & then
Take me sailing down the Seine
When you push me in
I’ll rise up again
I’m Houdini of the heart
 
Show me Casablanca,
Omar Sharif
Then take note of exhibit 1:-
My dry handkerchief
So let’s keep this Encounter Brief
I’m Houdini of the heart
 
Lay me down for heaven’s sake
Sophia Loren, Veronica Lake!
I’ll be Rio by the time that you wake
I’m Houdini of the heart
