Penny Lyrics

woke up to an adrenaline rush

the wasp on his finger

the quiet duvet-smothered hush

is broken by a sting that lingers

in two minds about everything

in two beds

a coin only has two alternates

i’m always just above your feet

you’re always just above my head

safe to say

never felt like i quite made the grade anyway

in any case / not one to let a golden moment

go to waste

chasing all desires down lightless lines

to dead end alleyways

through miles and miles and miles

of city grey

till he reached the motorway

held out a shaking palm / in hopes of

for one second feeling rain

but it never came

the grey wouldn’t give

felt cheated like he’d missed a trick he’d looked away

and let it slip beneath the railing

in his grip

the cars so fast / the smoke so thick

all night

all day

nothing you could see

nothing i could say

nothing in-between

but something between us

it ricochets

what you’re thinking sinks beneath the waves

and stays there

silent as a manta ray

all night

all day

nothing you could see

nothing i could say
