Lyrics Little Miss Emperor - Iggy Pop

Little Miss Emperor

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 baby, it’s 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
