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 icebluebirds 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
