Lyrics

A penny for your thoughts, my love
A penny for your thoughts, my love
A swinging door, a swinging door
A penny for your thoughts
They try to jump me
They try to jump me
A penny for your thoughts, my love
Penny for your thoughts, my love
They're spaghetti, they're spaghetti
They possess me, they possess me
They possess me
I'm trying to be a thought killer
I'm trying to be a thought killer
But they come back to bite me
Come back to bite me
A penny for your thoughts, a penny for your
A penny for your thoughts, my love
They court disaster, they court disaster
I'm trying to be a thought killer
A penny for your thoughts, my love
A penny for your thoughts
You'll forget me (I'm sending out choirs of angels), you'll forget me
I'm trying to be a thought killer (tying round pieces of string)
A penny for your thoughts (pieces of string)
Ooh
To run amok (they distract me), run amok (they distract me), run amok
(A penny for your thoughts, my love) to run amok
(They reject me) I'm sending out choirs of angels (they reject me)
Tying round pieces of string (a penny for your thoughts)
Pieces of string (a penny for your thoughts)
Ooh (a penny for your thoughts, a penny for your thoughts)
To run amok (they possess me), run amok (they possess me), run amok
(They possess me) to run amok
(But you got me, you got me, but you got me, but you got me) ooh
(Come back to bite me) to run amok, (back to bite me) run amok, (back to bite me) run amok
(A penny for your thoughts) to run amok (a penny for your thoughts, my love)
