The New Pornographers - Loose Translation lyrics
[The New Pornographers - Loose Translation lyrics]
One Holy Ghost for a lonely girl
In a green T-shirt that read, I quote:
"What price damnation now?"
In the school of thought
In the halls of state with a leap of faith
The loose translation must have lost her
It must have caused her
To go back to the civilization
Caught between here and the real one
Just to say what you'd begun to say once
We have been enrolled
In the wrong schools all
Through the pride of fall
The falling price of education now
There have been no clues
In the last few takes in the steps retraced
The education must have cost her
It must have caused her
To go back to the civilization
Caught between here and the real one
Just to say what you'd begun to say once
The education must have cost her
The loose translation must have lost her
It must have lost her, yeah
The loose translation must have lost her
It must have lost her, yeah
It must have lost her, it must have lost her
Yeah
In a green T-shirt that read, I quote:

It must have caused her

Caught between here and the real one
Just to say what you'd begun to say once
We have been enrolled
In the wrong schools all
Through the pride of fall
The falling price of education now
There have been no clues
In the last few takes in the steps retraced
The education must have cost her
It must have caused her
To go back to the civilization
Caught between here and the real one
Just to say what you'd begun to say once
The education must have cost her
The loose translation must have lost her
It must have lost her, yeah
The loose translation must have lost her
It must have lost her, yeah
It must have lost her, it must have lost her
Yeah
