Lyrics
0:15Old yellow bricks love's a risk
0:19Quite the little escapologist
0:22Love's some myth when you wish
0:26For a thousand places better than this
0:29You are the fugitive
0:32But you don't know what you're running from
0:33You can't kid us and you couldn't trick anyone
0:37Houdini look
0:39You don't know what you're running away from
0:44He wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up
0:48Blinded by nostalgia
0:51He wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up
0:58She was enraged by the way
1:02That the emperors were trapped in the cage
1:05And the days she'd deemed dull
1:08The empty nights reading beer bottles
1:12You're such a fugitive
1:14But you don't know what you're running from
1:16You can't kid us and you couldn't trick anyone
1:20Houdini look
1:22You don't know what you're running away from
1:27He wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up
1:31Blinded by nostalgia
1:34He wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up
2:06Yeah it's a loss just because
2:09It wasn't all that you thought it was
2:13You are the fugitive
2:14But you don't know what you're running away from
2:19She said "I want to sleep in a city that never wakes up
2:23And revel in nostalgia"
2:26"I know" I said
2:27"He wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up but
2:33Dorothy was right though "
