Gillian Grassie – Mr. Houdini lyrics

Mr. Houdini and the magic disappearing act
I called your number
You never called me back
If you don't want to see me
Well that's fine
But let's cut with the crap
Boy, you better meet me
I'm not cutting you any slack

You're a very diplomatic man
You offered me a white gloved hand
Now I'm beginning to understand
It was only so I couldn't get under your skin

Mr. Houdini and the trick of the persian rug
He'll wrap you tightly
Then leave you like a slug
He leaves loose ends, loose threads
And a very, very, very frayed woman

But I'm not an erotomaniac
My expectations are based on fact
We weren't some conjuring of your silk top hat
People don't disappear that fast

I'm not asking you for commitment
I'm just asking you to do the right thing
You can hate me, hurt me, leave me
But don't leave me hanging
