The Great Houdini Lyrics by The Shrives

2018

[Verse 1]
I'm the shot in the bar in the middle of the night
No one to touch because they think it got's fight
The dirt on your shoe when you're walking through mud
The sweat on your armpit
Your period blood
The smudge on the mirror
The curl in your hair
The touch of a stranger laying ??? downstairs
The poster on the wall
The guy down the street
The person who just tripped over your feet

[Chorus]

I'm the great Houdini that you see on TV
Foul mouthed guy always sippin' his tea
Lights in the car
Red in your face
Flying in the street
What more can I be?
I'm trying to keep it togethеr
I'm trying to keep it together

[Verse 2]

Remеmber me? I'm the sun in the sky
The whiny little girl who's drying her eyes
The coffee on the floor
The straps on your back
The zip on your jeans
The blunt of your whack
The kid on the fire to his long lost pa
The campaign poses for their brand new car
The 20 guns at and squeezing your neck
The circumcision
The online bet

[Chorus]

I'm the great Houdini that you see on TV
Foul mouthed guy always sippin' his tea
Lights in the car
Red in your face
Flying in the street
What more can I be?
I'm trying to keep it together
I'm trying to keep it together


I'm trying to keep it together
I'm trying to keep it together
I'm the great Houdini that you see on TV (I'm trying to)
I'm the great Houdini that you see on TV (keep it together)
I'm the great Houdini that you see on TV, see on TV (I'm trying to)
I'm the great Houdini that you see on TV (keep it...)
What more can I be?
