C5              F5
Stay out super late tonight
G5 
picking apples, making pies
C5                         F5        G5
put a little something in our lemonade and take it with us
           A5         F5      G5 
we're half-awake in a fake empire
           A5         F5      G5
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


A5    F5     G5   

A5    G5     F5     G5

Turn the light out say goodnight
no thinking for a little while
lets 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
