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

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
