Lyrics

Penelope

She does her best thinking in the morning

She barely sleeps but that don't bother her

Penelope

The whole world drives you crazy

But not half as crazy as you drive the world

She reads her books and goes out every evening

She ran away when she was just a girl

Penelope

The whole world drives you crazy

But not half as crazy as you drive the world

And she was riding on her bicycle

Through the middle of town when the whole town's asleep

And she's not wearing anything but a tattoo of a wedding ring

From another life

But that life was a blur

Penelope

The whole world drives you crazy

But not half as crazy as you drive the world

Penelope

The whole world drives you crazy

But not half as crazy as you drive the world
