arctic monkeys - Old Yellow Bricks

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 fugitive¹,
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 a city that never wakes up
blinded by nostalgia²
he wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up

she was enraged³ by the way
that the emperors 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 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 a city that never wakes up
blinded by nostalgia
he wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up

yeah it's a loss, just because
it wasn't all that you thought it was
you are the fugitive,
but you don't know what you're running away from

she said, i want to sleep in a city that never wakes up
and revel⁴ in nostalgia
i know, i said,
he wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up, but...
dorothy was right, though.
