Recorded at the Saint Clair Ave apartment, Saint Paul MN on December 15, 2010, final mix on January 2, 2011

lyrics

Here we go...

See him practicing his smile
Been leaning there a while
Watching girls like he's keeping careful notes
He's been drinking
You can see what he's thinking
Transparent as a senator,
You know he only votes for himself

You see him then you don't
He's climbing up the rope
He's vanished up in smoke, Houdini

But I remember your face, White Houdini
You won't be hard to replace, White Houdini
You'll peace out in a haste, White Houdini
Go on, make your escape, White Houdini

Here we go...
He knows which guys are holding junk
He's riding in the trunk
Now he's asking for a hit of your shit again
He's been flirting
With your girlfriend while she's learning
To share his sympathy and why he's in a dead end

Now you see him, now you don't
He's always got a joke
He's so funny I could choke Houdini

I've got your number okay, White Houdini
I'll get you out of the way, White Houdini
Your nerves are starting to fray, White Houdini
Just try to make your escape, White Houdini

Once you see him coming you should hide your wine and women,
Watch his hands,
He might be sneaking pockets full of anything than can be sold
I think you oughta go now, White Houdini

Here we go again...

He's dangerous and comfortable and cunning and deplorable,
And even if you're watching him,
He might be slipping fingers in your coat
He's got you in the moment, White Houdini

Here we go again...Houdini

You make it look so easy
