We’re half awake in a fake empire
Bluebirds on our shoulders
Do our gay ballet on ice

No thinking for a little while

And take it with us
Tiptoe through our shiny city
Put a little something in our lemonade
We’re half awake in a fake empire
We’re half awake in a fake empire

We’re half awake in a fake empire
It’s hard to keep track of you falling through the sky
Let's not try to figure out everything at once
Turn the light out, say goodnight
We’re half awake in a fake empire
With our diamond slippers on
We’re half awake in a fake empire
