Lyrics

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 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 laxative

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
