Houdini Blues — текст песни (Kristin Hersh)

Oh no, dont you put me in that box

You know what you can do with those locks

Bet your life Ill come crawling out again

Youll have to deal with me then

Youll hear me on the wind



Ive been on the other side of the blue ridge

Seen the shenandoah rolling there

I stepped off the mountains edge

Just to climb the golden stair

I seen the streets up there



I been on the mount transfiguration

Been there with my ma and my pa

On the mountain of commandment

I been handed down the law

You should have seen what I saw



I fell to the bottom of thales well

Caught like a theif with a lamb

You know these stars they can cast a spell

Ive been caught with red hands

Ive been caught with red hands



I scaled the mountains, skiied the valleys

Ive done the highs and the lows

I dont feel like work today

Hell I wont go

Bess I wont go



Just let me at their locks

We should all be free

Oh bess, I swear Ill call

When Im free from me

We should all be free
