Lyrics

[00:17.84] Stay out super late tonight picking apples, making pies
[00:25.06] Put a little something in our lemonade and take it with us
[00:31.10] We're half awake in a fake empire
[00:37.64] We're half awake in a fake empire
[00:46.15] Tiptoe through our shiny city with our diamond slippers on
[00:53.19] Do our gay ballet on ice, bluebirds on our shoulders
[00:59.07] We're half awake in a fake empire
[01:06.02] We're half awake in a fake empire
[01:20.58]
[01:42.80] Turn the light out say goodnight, no thinking for a little while
[01:49.89] Let's not try to figure out everything at once
[01:56.66] It's hard to keep track of you falling through the sky
[02:02.72] We're half awake in a fake empire
[02:09.63] We're half awake in a fake empire
[02:16.70]
