Old yellow bricks
 Love's a risk
 Quite the little escapologist
 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 couldn't 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
 You're such a fugitive
 But you don't know what you're runnin' from
 You can't kid us
 And you couldn't 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 who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up, but
 Dorothy was right though
