Pennyroyal Tea (Live in Chicago) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm on Percodans and Demerol
I have very bad posture

[Chorus]
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
I'm a liar and a thief
I'm anemic royalty

[Verse 2]
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterwards
So I can sigh eternally

[Chorus]
I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm a liar and a thief
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty

[Verse 3]
I'm on Percodans and Demerol
I have very bad posture

[Chorus]
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm a liar and a thief
Come and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty
