Handcuffs For Houdini

Don't talk about commitment

Don't talk about it here

Don't talk about the Russians

Don't mention your fears

Don't talk about the black man

Don't talk about the rope

It only causes problems

We got plenty of those, I said

Don't talk about it, don't talk

Don't talk about it, don't talk

Don't talk about it, don't talk

Don't talk about it, don't talk...

(Don't talk about it)

(Don't talk about it)

Sing a song of sixpence

A packet full of lies

Don't dare to love your children

Just let the baby cry

But when the pie was opened

They'd forgotten how to sing

There was Larry, Moe and Curly Joe

And Martin Luther King...

(Don't talk about it, don't talk)

Like handcuffs for Houdini (Don't talk)

This whole thing is a con (about it, don't talk)

You know what's gonna happen (Don't talk)

But you don't know how it's done (about it, don't talk)

Somebody he once told me (Don't talk)

That the key was in his mouth (about it, don't talk)

Like handcuffs and Houdini (Don't talk)

It looks so simple (about it)

But you just can't work it out (Don't talk)

(Don't talk about it, don't talk)

(Don't talk about it, don't talk)

(Don't talk about it, don't talk)

(Don't talk about it, don't talk)

(Don't talk about it, don't talk)

(Don't talk about it, don't talk)
