about
lyrics
Stay out super late tonight,
pickin' apples, makin' pie.
Put a little something in our gatorade and take it with us.
We're half awake,
in a fake empire.
We're half awake,
in a fake empire.
Tip toe through our shiny city,
with our diamond slippers on.
Do our gay ballet at night,
with blue birds 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 keeping track of you,
falling through the sky.
We're half awake,
in a fake empire.
We're half awake,
in a fake empire.
