Fake Empire (The National)

"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"



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
