Lyrics for Penny in the Lake
Today's gonna change my life What's for breakfast, Jesus Christ? Poking the bear, one eye at a time Berries dropping from the sky Guess it's time to bake a pie Making our own good luck, now There's a penny in the lake But it's not what I thought It's just someone's wish they forgot There's a penny in the lake But it's not what I thought It's just someone's wish they forgot Motorbike is running fine Whiskey in the summertime The bugs are writing books with their eyes Big ole dancer cuts a rug Stubs her toe on a slug It's your classic slip 'n slide, down There's a penny in the lake But it's not what I thought It's just someone's wish they forgot There's a penny in the lake But it's not what I thought It's just someone's wish they forgot Peace and love to drive my car Baby, you're my Ringo Starr Twistin' the radio dial, ah, too far Scurry by the chain link fence I travel by coincidence Oh, you'll never see me again, no There's a penny in the lake But it's not what I thought It's just someone's wish they forgot There's a penny in the lake But it's not what I thought It's just someone's wish they forgot
