Escape Artist

Words and music by Joe Dickinson

Houdini taught you well

You slipped right out of your cell

You didn't even tell me you were leaving

Escape artist

You vanished

Gone without a trace

Shape shifter in disguise

You slipped right out of my eyes

After filling me with lies of love

Escape artist

You vanished

Gone without a trace

So independent now

Don't need no one no how

But I remember you on the couch crying

Escape artist

You vanished

Gone without a trace

If I was a scientist

I would want to research this

Was it over before we kissed goodbye

Escape artist

You vanished

Gone without a trace

I'd like to know how you feel

What was fake and what was real

But a good magician never reveals her secrets

Escape artist

You vanished

Gone without a

Gone without a trace
