Ha! Ha! Houdini's Laughing Lyrics - Rainbirds

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
