Lyrics:

Take it from the top
Spoken:
Does that mean you have to move the entire body to the right?
And I'm not, and I'm not, and I'm not being facetious
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
Ahh ahh ahh ahh
I wanna be like Harry Houdini
Whoa oh oh oh
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
Why should I try to change me
You never will
My past comes back to chase me
I won't be happy till
(I won't be happy till)
I wanna be like
(I gotta be)
(Like Harry Houdini)
Whoa oh

I gotta be
(I wanna be)
(I oughta be)
(Like Harry Houdini)
(whoa oh)
I wanna be
(I gotta be)
(Oh please be)
(Like Harry Houdini)
Whoa oh
I gotta be
(I wanna be)
I gotta be
(I gotta be)
(Like Harry Houdini)
