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 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
