    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 dont know what you're runnin from,
    You cant kid us,
    And you couldnt trick anyone,
    Houdini, love you dont 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 dont know what you're runnin from,
    You cant kid us,
    And you couldnt trick anyone,
    Houdini, love you dont 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 wasnt all that you thought it was,
    You are a fugitive but you dont 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

    "There's no place like home"
    A lot of people are running away from their childhood, their home city, looking at the future and traveling alot.
    Being fugitives from their past, but not even knowing what they wanna change in their lives, just running away from what they lived in the past.
    But there's a time in your life when you reproduce your childhood, come back to your own city, live the same way your parents did.
    Dorothy was right : there's no place like home.
    Awesome song.
