Besides Daniel - Penny Queen lyrics

Theres a thousand singers in my brain I'm running from A million words all disarrayed and loose ends undone But when I was young I had ambition clean and pure But I don't think that way no more Thank God our mothers well she take us in when our monies spent I must have left my rose rims in some circus tent on accident And when I was young I had ambition clean and pure I don't think that way no more Were stretched between/ a penny and a queen, A future and a dream/ yeah you are a lover and a thief I am my pleasure and my grief/ and when will it end My apologies I wrote a happy song for you to sing along But when the tune came out it sounded wrong And all the while I was reaching in your purse You were humming to my verse We're partly beasts part Adam and part Eve The grace and pain continues on to weave so gracefully And when we grow young we'll see the treasure in the cost We'll give thanks for what we've lost You see we're walking on a string This tug of war we are in between Is it the tension in this thing that makes it sing
