Houdini Blues Lyrics by Kristin Hersh

Houdini Blues Lyrics

    Oh no, don't you put me in that box
    You know what you can do with those locks
    Bet your life I'll come crawling out again
    You'll have to deal with me then
    You'll hear me on the wind

    I've been on the other side of the Blue Ridge
    Seen the Shenandoah rolling there
    I stepped off the mountains edge
    Just to climb the golden stair
    I seen the streets up there

    I been on the mount transfiguration
    Been there with my Ma and my Pa
    On the mountain of commandment
    I been handed down the law
    You should have seen what I saw

    I fell to the bottom of Thales' well
    Caught like a theif with a lamb
    You know these stars they can cast a spell
    I've been caught with red hands
    I've been caught with red hands

    I scaled the mountains, skiied the valleys
    I've done the highs and the lows
    I don't feel like work today
    Hell I won't go
    Bess I won't go

    Just let me at their locks
    We should all be free
    Oh Bess, i swear I'll call
    When I'm free from me
    We should all be free
