New Pornographers Miss Teen Wordpower Lyrics

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. 



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, Miss Teen
Wordpower. 



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, Miss Teen Wordpower. 

Nobody knows the wreck of the soul the way you do, Miss Teen Wordpower.
