Arctic Monkeys - Old Yellow Bricks Lyrics

Arctic Monkeys - Old Yellow Bricks Video

Old yellow bricks, love's a risk

Quite the little escapologist

Love's so miffed 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, love, you don't know what you're running away from

 

Who wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up?

Blinded by nostalgia

Who wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up?

 

She was enraged by the way

That the emperor put traps in the cage

And the days, she deemed dull

Leading to 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, love, you don't know what you're running away from

 

Who wants to sleep in a 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 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 revel in nostalgia

I know, I said, He wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up, but

Dorothy was right, though
