fake empire

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
lets not try to figure out everything it wants
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
