[Verse 1]
Old yellow bricks
Love's a risk
Quite the little escapologist
Looked so miffed
When you wished
For a thousand places better than this
[Bridge]
You are the fugitive
But you don't know what you're running from
You can't kid us
And you couldn't trick anyone
Houdini
Love, you don't know what you're running away from
[Hook]
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?
[Verse 2]
She was enraged
By the way
That the emperor put traps in the cage
And the days
She being dull
Lead to nights reading beer bottles
[Bridge]
You are the fugitive
But you don't know what you're running from
You can't kid us
And you couldn't trick anyone
Houdini
Love, you don't know what you're running away from
[Hook]
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?
[Verse 3]
You're at a loss
Just because
It wasn't all that you thought it was
You're such a fugitive
But you don't know what you're running away from
[Verse 4]
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 a city that never wakes up but
Dorothy was right though
