Arctic Monkeys Old Yellow Bricks Lyrics

Old Yellow Bricks Lyrics

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 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



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 reading beer bottles



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



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
