I wanna be like Harry Houdini And be the one to make the great escape I wanna be where no one'll see me You've gotta learn a lesson give and take.
I wanna be where lovin' is easy If I could go it wouldn't be a dare Cause when you look in my eyes How can you not realize That I could go and couldn't give a care.
I wanna be like Harry Houdini Where there ain't nothin' that'll keep you in I wanna be where no one'll see me Can't find a way to say I can't begin.
And when I'm gone I know how you'll miss me How could there ever really be a doubt Cause when you look in my eyes How can you not realize That you could never really be without.
How much more can I believe in The Things they say I'm past the point, I'm leavin' I gotta get away.
Why should you try to change me You never will My past comes back to chase me I won't be happy till

I wanna be (I'm gonna be) I gotta be (I oughta be) Just like Harry Houdini
Since you've been gone I sit alone and watch the same old screen I carry on It doesn't matter what it is a sin I just feel the need to hide away As I loose myself in Saturday
Look at me I keep turning the pages of history Look at you trying to fill up your life with things to do Look at us will we ever find a key in the history Could it be if I move to you would you move to me
I call you up [Sorry, I'm not home right now, but you can leave a message] But all I ever get is your machine I know you're there What make you think it could be just a dream Do you feel the need to run away Are you searching for a better day
Look at me I keep turning the pages of history Look at you trying to fill up your life with things to do Look at us will we ever find a key in the history Could it be if I move to you would you move to me
How many times changing my mind How many days wasted away [Wasted away, ooh] How many words, what will it take? [What will it take, ooh] How do we work out this mistake [Aaah]
Look at me I keep turning the pages of history Look at you trying to fill up your life with things to do Look at us will we ever find a key in the history Could it be if I move to you, would you move to me?

There once was a time and there once was a way We had something going and to my dismay Attention to me seemed to drift though I don't know where
And when we're alone seems there's nothing to say I bring up a topic and you push it away You say that you do but I think it's just you don't care Why do I feel you're using me
Are we an item or are we just two I need some commitments all I ask of you Your life's stock can change Don't be 'fraid what you think' in store
I know what's on your mind you've got lots to lose Your shallow acquaintances what's there to choose Yuo won't get too deep even though I'm worth so much more
So think about it carefully
Smile for the while and let's be jolly We shouldn't be so melancholy Come along and share the good times while we can
Leo's got a hairset Leo's got a flattop
Leo's got a hairset Leo's got a flattop
If that's how you want it; that's how it'll be There's no use in trying or making you see That love don't come easy you don't know what it's about
To get things together won't take any pain Don't need to see/hear from you ever again From this day on listen but no more Please count me out, and you know what I'm talkin' about
Smile for the while and let's be jolly We shouldn't be so melancholy Come along and share the good times while we can
I know now's the time that I went to find something new You know it's your crime that I'm out to find someone too
I wanna be like Harry Houdini And be the one to make the great escape I wanna be where no one'll see me You've gotta learn a lesson give and take.
