I used to live close by the river
|
I used to let my heart go with the stream
|
I knew I held the key to any door
|
I held the key to everything and more
|
Once upon a time I took it easy
|
Once upon a time I took it rough
|
I used to earn my living with the things I loved
|
Now they pay me for what I love not
|
The river's running backwards
|
And my heart is quickly closing now
|
Ha! Ha! Houdini's laughing
|
laughing last
|
|
Ha! Ha! Houdini's laughing.
|
Houdini's laughing last
|
I've been sliding down this track of tears
|
Swimming with this water chute
|
Drowning in discontent
|
But now the sun is shining with a different grin
|
It can be cold as ice
|
It can be hot as fire
|
Burning in my eyes
|
|
I used to live near by the border
|
I used to say good morning to the wall
|
Today they sell the truth at every corner
|
It seems that they can't stand the truth at all
|
Once upon a time I took it badly
|
Once upon a time I felt so fine
|
I wanted to hold on but I could hardly
|
Remember everything, all that was mine
|
The river `s running backwards
|
And my heart is quickly closing now
|
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Houdini's laughing
|
Laughing last
|
|
Ha! Ha! Houdini's laughing.
|
Houdini's laughing last
|
I've been sliding down this track of tears
|
Swimming with this water chute
|
Drowning in discontent
|
But now the sun is shining with a different grin
|
It can be cold as ice
|
It can be hot as fire
|
Burning in my eyes
|
