Lyrics Houdini Punches - Son Volt

Houdini Punches

Wind there blows the dust off of holy ground
No exit for hope, gone from bad to worse
Mocking an assault of society’s dream
Comprehension and pain to pick up off the floor
Heart attack through him, within condition
Flies are buzzing around with an eye to scorekeeper
Reality falls when the new thrill burns down
Feelings resonate, parallel lives get drawn out
Too many Houdini punches may fall
Stranded by reasons for staying, imploring
Reason is a telescope when you’re on your own
Heart attack through him, within condition
Flies are buzzing around with an eye to scorekeeper
Reality falls when the new thrill burns down
Flies are buzzing around with an eye to scorekeeper
Reality falls when the new thrill burns down
