Time - Penny Mae lyrics
Artist: Time Song: Penny Mae Album: One Headed Hydra: Nutty Castle Mama said wake up it's time for church Daddy only wake up when it's time for work You don't wake up any day So take your lithium Penny Mae She was only 14, they said she was phrenic Zombie pills, it's an epidemic They said she saw people but she only Molly But Molly was real cause she worked at Burger King She didn't like Pica**o, she only like Dali Plus realism really wasn't her thing She believes in God, she just don't like religion She thinks it's all bullsh** just like her Ritalin I think I take lithium, I think it's in batteries Maybe it's the reason I'm a robot in this galaxy Maybe I'm fine or maybe I'm crazy Or maybe I need it cause I'm not a normal lady? As she ate breakfast, she thought about Ernest and orange juice She thought about Sylvia Plath and the truth She thought about melancholy and the definition Then she took another lithium just like repetition No manic Mondays, she had a manic lifetime And when she panicked, Xanax was her lifeline She wrote help me on her head with her sister's make up It's all ready noon, she don't want to wake up Mama said wake up it's time for church Daddy only wake up when it's time for work You don't wake up any day So take your lithium Penny Mae Brain like a race horse pissing on her summer The insurance company just bought a hummer Her doctor is damn sure filling her quota But Penny is good, she take them pills like she suppose to Everyday is tragic she can't hold a job The voices in her head all just applaud She done have mood swings, she has mood bullets When you're numb to the world it's hard to live it to the fullest Every 30 minutes is a teeter totter Lithium is her mother and she beats her daughter But Penny got goals and Penny likes to paint But Ambien CR just makes her faint She wakes back up and takes an Adderall So many pills she can't add them all Thorazine, Zoloft and Klonopin Now she's being woke up by her mom again She calls up Molly and they meet at McCoy's They drink a pot of coffee and gossip bout boys She takes another lithium and finishes her sandwich Now she's daydreaming bout a palate and a canvas She goes to sleep and she asks for peace But tomorrow she's gonna paint her masterpiece Mama said wake up it's time for church Daddy only wake up when it's time for work You don't wake up any day So take your lithium Penny Mae
