lyrics

Shake off the sun
There is fog and rain to come
She is not afraid to run, from the world into a photograph

She knows her name it's indecision
But her face is fine precision
She gets away with it

And her mind is a river flowing to the sea
And her heart is remote and unsettled
And her mind is a river flowing turbulently
Welcome to the one and only manic pixie dream

She's in control, God bless us all
What is control, the neck that turns the head?
She's lost control, God save us all
What is control in this post-modern world?
I don't know

She might be a tad unsteady
From all the time she spends alone
Enough said, it's an aesthetic
She rocks unsteady but she'll make it through
Little Miss Pacific Northwest
Little Miss Pacific Northwest
Little Miss Pacific Northwest

And her mind is a river flowing to the sea
And her heart is remote and unsettled, oh
And her mind is a river flowing turbulently
Welcome to the holy rolling hipster's fantasy

She is specific Miss Pacific
She is specific Miss Pacific
She is specific Miss Pacific
She is specific Miss Pacific
Human beings need their place defined
In that she is no different from you or I

She might be a tad unsteady
From all the time she spends alone
Enough said, it's an aesthetic
She rocks unsteady but she'll make it through
She's going to weigh on you, she's got to break on through
Because she's Little Miss Pacific Northwest
Little Miss Pacific Northwest
Little Miss Pacific Northwest
Little Miss, Little Miss in the Pacific Northwest
