"Fake Empire" lyrics
(originally by The National)
Stay out super late tonight picking apples, making pies
Put a little something in our lemonade and take it with us
We're half awake in a fake empire
We're half awake in a fake empire
Tiptoe through our shiny city with our diamond slippers on
Do our gay ballet on ice, bluebirds on our shoulders
We're half awake in a fake empire
We're half awake in a fake empire
Turn the light out, say goodnight, no thinking for a little while
Let's not try and figure out everything at once
Stars keeping track of you falling through the sky
We're half awake in a fake empire
We're half awake in a fake empire
Put a little something in our lemonade and take it with us
We're half awake in a fake empire
We're half awake in a fake empire
Tiptoe through our shiny city with our diamond slippers on
Do our gay ballet on ice, bluebirds on our shoulders
We're half awake in a fake empire
We're half awake in a fake empire
Turn the light out, say goodnight, no thinking for a little while
Let's not try and figure out everything at once
Stars keeping track of you falling through the sky
We're half awake in a fake empire
We're half awake in a fake empire
