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
tip-toe 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
