Escapologist

Tie my hands and feet together

Toss my body in a sack

Lock me in a darkened dungeon

Until all I see is black

Hang me from the highest wire

Handcuffs fixed around my wrists

I guarantee

I'll still break free

I'm an escapologist

Put a straightjacket upon me

Lower me into a well

Keep me cooped up in a cavern

Bind me with a magic spell

Drown me in the deepest ocean

I am sure I'll not be missed

As you will learn

I'll soon return

I'm an escapologist

Leave me languishing in deserts

While the sun scorches my head

Drop me in the icy arctic

Lost in landscapes full of dread

Trap me in a burning building

I'll be able to resist

Like a genie

Or Houdini

I'm an escapologist
