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
