New fast automatic
She's your average girl
Another beauty queen

Takes her life for granted
Never stops to think
Never stops to breathe

You fail to fly through time
18 going on 29

Doesn't buy into silence anymore
Says she's not corporate for
Another corporate
Hope you wear your arrogance oh so well

[Chorus]
To the sound of New York traffic
Girls like her like AM static
Wasting all their lives
Like friendships wasting time

To the sound of New York traffic
Girls like her like AM static
Desire never dies
In wasting precious time

New fast automatic
She's good with boys
She's got a lighter

Knows no different now
She wants attention
She starts a fire

Sex sells and strikes from sides
Ads battle for your thoughts and mind

Doesn't buy into silence anymore
Says she's not corporate for
Another corporate hope
You wear your arrogance oh so well
(Just like everyone else)

[Chorus]
To the sound of New York traffic
Girls like her like AM static
Wasting all their lives
Like friendships wasting time

To the sound of New York traffic
Girls like her like AM static
Desire never dies
In wasting precious time

Hope you wear your arrogance oh so well
(Just like everyone else)

[Chorus]
To the sound of New York traffic
Girls like her like AM static
Wasting all their lives
Like friendships wasting time
(Friendships wasting time)

To the sound of New York traffic
Girls like her like AM static
Desire never dies
In wasting precious time
