The New Pornographers - Miss Teen Wordpower lyrics

Our words move aimlessly through
Empty city squares
Collecting into mobs and angry
Like their prayers they breathe the air we
Fought to leave behind
This kind of blank adventure
Happens all the time

Because nobody knows the wreck of the
Soul the way you do the way you do

We fought to find our thoughts
The runway walked us through
The swimsuit portion of the
Evening cancelled due
To rain, the pageant's called again
You'll find this kind of blank adventure
Happens all the time

Because nobody knows the wreck of the
Soul the way you do the way you do
Miss Teen Wordpower miss Teen Wordpower

So we float through the streets
Breathe city lights
Claims of the crown forgotten
So we float through the streets
Breathe city lights
Claims of the crown forgotten
So we float through the streets
Breathe city lights
Claims of the crown forgotten
So we float through the streets
Float through the streets

The way you do the way you do
Miss Teen Wordpower miss Teen Wordpower

Nobody knows the wreck of the
Soul the way you do the way you do
Miss Teen Wordpower miss Teen Wordpower
