Pennyroyal Tea Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture

[Chorus 1]
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty

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

[Chorus 2]
I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm a liar and a thief
Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids
[Chorus 1]
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
