The National
I've been told
Life's not a joke you should laugh about
Once you're old
You'll know what I'm talking about
But I won't grow old
I smiled and I denied
I guess I've earned
The shaking heads I got replied
No, so many stones to throw
No, so many places to go, to go, to go
So many places to go
I quit my job
And worked for six or seven bucks at a bar
I won't get far
Making chicks drunk, so I took off
I got in the van
Take me somewhere, I don't care where
I thought I'd return
And be someone, but no one cared
No, so many stones to throw
No, so many places to go, to go, to go
Come what may, I will sing along
To the National on the radio
Come on may, I will sing along
To the National on the radio
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep
In my fake empire
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep
In my fake empire
My fake empire
(My fake)
After the show
We always met on the highest floor
Danny's home
The window sill right next to the door
We should have known
Once you fall, there's no way back on
Life's not a joke
Guess they were right and I was wrong
No, so many places to go, to go, to go
Come what may, I will sing along
To the National on the radio
Come what may, I will sing along
To the National on the radio
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep
In my fake empire
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep
In my fake empire
My fake empire
My fake empire
Life's not a joke you should laugh about
Once you're old
You'll know what I'm talking about
But I won't grow old
I smiled and I denied
I guess I've earned
The shaking heads I got replied
No, so many stones to throw
No, so many places to go, to go, to go
So many places to go
I quit my job
And worked for six or seven bucks at a bar
I won't get far
Making chicks drunk, so I took off
I got in the van
Take me somewhere, I don't care where
I thought I'd return
And be someone, but no one cared
No, so many stones to throw
No, so many places to go, to go, to go
Come what may, I will sing along
To the National on the radio
Come on may, I will sing along
To the National on the radio
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep
In my fake empire
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep
In my fake empire
My fake empire
(My fake)
After the show
We always met on the highest floor
Danny's home
The window sill right next to the door
We should have known
Once you fall, there's no way back on
Life's not a joke

No, so many places to go, to go, to go
Come what may, I will sing along
To the National on the radio
Come what may, I will sing along
To the National on the radio
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep
In my fake empire
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep
In my fake empire
My fake empire
My fake empire
