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 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 "Fake empire" By the National.
