Paroles: The National. Fake Empire.

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
lets not try to figure out everything at once
It?s hard to keep track of you falling through the sky
we?re half-awake in a fake empire
we?re half-awake in a fake empire
