Arctic Monkeys - Old Yellow Bricks lyrics

Old Yellow Bricks

Love's a risk

Quite the little escapologist

Love's some myth

When you wish

For a thousand places better than this

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 look, you don't know what you're running away from

He wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up

Blinded by nostalgia

He wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up

She was enraged, by the way

That the emporers were trapped in the cage

And the days

She'd deemed dull

The empty nights reading beer bottles

You're such a fugitive but you don't know what you're running form

You can't kid us yeah you can't trick anyone

Houdini, yeah you don't know what you're running from

He wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up

Blinded by nostalgia

He wants to sleep in the city, that never wakes up

Yeah it's a loss, just because

It wasn't all you thought it was

You're the fugitive but you don't know what you're running away from

She said I want to sleep in the city that never wakes up

And revel in nostalgia

He wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up

But Dorothy was right though...
