You're strung like wire
Your open arms they flinch
Joan Crawford style
Treated like a towel
Inside you howl
On some dark concrete
Midnight street
You've built an altar
That's quite complete
Your self control
Is damned amazing
You're trying hard
And I want you
Little miss emperor
You really want to grow
And you're alert, I know
But babies mostly drown
It's a company town
Cheat gods and joke
Attack your noble ghost
I saw the best minds
Of my generation
Learn how to crawl
Across our nation
Conformity falls
Like one wet blanket
Look how we live
And I want you
Little miss emperor
Little miss emperor
Trying to open doors
You're not giving an inch You're strung like wire Your open arms they flinch Joan Crawford style Treated like a towel Inside you howl On some dark concrete Midnight street You've built an altar That's quite complete Your self control Is damned amazing You're trying hard And I want you Little miss emperor You really want to grow And you're alert, I know But babies mostly drown It's a company town Cheat gods and joke Attack your noble ghost I saw the best minds Of my generation Learn how to crawl Across our nation Conformity falls Like one wet blanket Look how we live And I want you Little miss emperor Little miss emperor Trying to open doors Explain Request ×
