Miss Teen Wordpower lyrics

Artist  : New Pornographers 
Song : Miss Teen Wordpower
 
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.
