Lyrics

Old yellow bricks
Love's a risk
Quite the little escapologist
Looked so miffed
When you wished
For a thousand places better than this

You are the fugitive
But you dont know what you're runnin from
You cant kid us
And you couldnt trick anyone
Houdini, love you dont know what you're runnin away from

Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up?
Blinded by nostalgia
Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up?

She was enraged by the way
That the emperor put traps in the cage
And the days she being dull
Lead to nights readin beer bottles

You're such a fugitive
But you dont know what you're runnin from
You cant kid us
And you couldnt trick anyone
Houdini, love you dont know what you're runnin away from

Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up?
Blinded by nostalgia
Who wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up?

You're at a loss
Just because
It wasnt all that you thought it was

You are a fugitive but you dont know what you're runnin away from

She said I want to sleep in the city that never wakes up
And revel in nostalgia
I know I said he wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up but
Dorothy was right though
