Penny Royalty

From Evening Session Priority Tunes1996

Lyrics

Penny Royalty

I'm on my time with everyone I have a very bad posture Sit and drink pennyroyal tea Distill the life inside of me Sit and drink pennyroyal tea I'm anemic royalty Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld So I can sigh eternally I'm so tired, I can't sleep I'm a liar and a thief Sit and drink pennyroyal tea I'm anemic royalty I'm on warm milk and laxatives Cherry-flavored antacids Sit and drink pennyroyal tea Distill the life inside of me Sit and drink pennyroyal tea I'm anemic royalty
