Penny for Your Thoughts - Einar Stray Orchestra

Oh, a penny for your thoughts

Even though I’m broke

Are you broken up about it?

We cough up caramel

We cry coffee tears

If someone really cares we don’t care

In the nuance of your tone

I can hear it all

You’re smiling and you’re not

At same the time

All we ever want

How is that enough?

We got everything

But there’s something missing

We got everything we dreamed of except for dreams

We’re everything they ever wanted us to be

Penny, I wanna be someone else

A penny for your all thoughts

Fill me up tonight!

We could swim against the stream

If only as a pastime

Pass me anything

Something meaningful

In a pickle, pick a fight

Shouldn’t fear the light

Nor Norwegians nights dark and gloomy

Back when we were kids

You made a funny face in the Caravelle

Drove the driver mad

With all due respect what did you expect?

First lady, president?

Got to do it yourself

We got everything we dreamed of except for dreams

We’re everything they ever wanted us to be

We got everything we dreamed of except for real dreams

Penny, I wanna be somewhere else

A penny for your all thoughts

Fill me up tonight!

Your time is worth a million in gold

Cut loose, we’re used to forgiving

The only thing we ́re getting is older

Old age, it’s ours for the taking

Might seem like a pie in your face

I’ll keep the change, your mind’s worth a million

I know you find it a little strange

If you point blame, you’re blaming yourself
