Old Yellow Bricks

by Curtis Mayfield

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:he wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up,but...
Dorothy was right though.
