Throughout you know the same

Every night you know her name

No one knows you by your name

You've been raped still, just the same



I'm on my time with everyone

I have very bad posture



Sit and drink pennyroyal tea

Distill the life that's 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 a liar and a thief

I'm so tired I can't sleep

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 that's inside of me

Sit and drink pennyroyal tea

I'm anemic royalty



I'm a liar and a thief

I'm so tired I can't sleep

Sit and drink pennyroyal tea

I'm anemic royalty
