Fake Empire (Live in Brussels) - The National

Composer：Bryce Dessner/Matt Berninger

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
