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 don't know what you're runnin' from You can't kid us And you couldn't trick anyone Houdini, love you don't 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 don't know what you're runnin' from You can't kid us And you couldn't trick anyone Houdini, love you don't 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 wasn't all that you thought it was You are a fugitive but you don't 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 who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up, but Dorothy was right though
