[Verse 1]
Stay out super late tonight
Picking apples, making pies
Put a little something in our lemonade
And take it with us

[Chorus]
We're half awake in a fake empire
We're half awake in a fake empire

[Verse 2]
Tiptoe through our shiny city
With our diamond slippers on
Do our gay ballet on ice
Bluebirds on our shoulders

[Chorus]
We're half awake in a fake empire
We're half awake in a fake empire

[Spoken: Matt Berninger]
We're not so fucking half awake anymore, are we?

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
We're half awake in a fake empire
We're half awake in a fake empire

[Instrumental Outro]

[Spoken: Matt Berninger]
Thanks everybody
Thank you
I apologize about the temper
It's been a big day

[Audience Cheering]
