Fake Empire Lyrics - Boxer - 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 

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
