Houdini from Time Ghost by Charming Disaster
What if the greatest escape artist of all time (and a famous debunker of fraudulent spirit mediums) was trapped behind the veil, trying in vain to make contact with the loved ones who summoned him to their séance?

Lyrics
Break out of that black box
Throw the ropes off can you pick locks
Chains wrapped 'round your shoulders
Never were enough to hold you
Darling cross the border
I am here now waiting for you
Can you hear me in the darkness
It’s been so long it’s been so long
Wandering free in a dream of a dream
Is there somebody calling my name
Come inside the circle
Where we sit among the candles
Tap upon the table
Won’t you send us any signal
If I could reach out and touch you
Would you know me when I come through
Will you meet me in the darkness
Can we hold on can we hold on
Wandering free in a dream of a dream
Is there somebody calling my name
Ring the bells and
Sound the trumpets
Are you here
Dearly beloved?
Wandering free in a dream of a dream
Is there somebody calling my name

Charming Disaster is a goth-folk duo based in Brooklyn, NY, formed in 2012 by Ellia Bisker and Jeff Morris. Inspired by the macabre humor of Edward Gorey and Tim Burton, the murder ballads of the Americana tradition, and the dramatic flair of the cabaret, they write songs that tell stories about death, crime, myth, magic, folklore, and the occult.
