Lyrics The New Pornographers

The New Pornographers

It's Only Divine Right

Both eyes

Drinking cool water

Not the first daughter

So i can't see

Why you're wrestling with words

At last

A tradition you've long outclassed

Come true

For the new martyrs

With your hair parted

Like the Red Sea

You're addressing the world from your bed

All alone in the crowd like you said

Come true

It's only divine right

Here's Leda

In her white glory

All her back-story

Has been wiped clean

Just another apocryphal mess

Never promised 'em anything less

So come true

These are safe waters

For the first daughter

So I can't see why

You're pushing the pull that you've had

While the rest of the girls go bad

Slip back

Through the plot

For the new shock

Seeing us then

When we were the real people

Face down

In the old money

Left the crowd

Wondering what your

Next move's gonna be

In the moments ahead

While the rest of the girls go bad
