Old yellow bricks,
Love's a risk,
Quite the little Escapoligist
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 couldnt 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, [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/arctic_monkeys/old_yellow_bricks.html ]
You're such a fugitive,
But you don't know what you're runnin from,
You can't kid us,
And you couldnt 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 he wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up but,
Dorothy was right though
About a girl that is lost in her way of life. She couldn't get to know herself anymore. Running away and afraid of things that we don't usually scared of just because she's actually afraid to herself and still could not accept the reality.
