Come and spend the moment here
Take time out for a breather so
We can spend the afternoon
Drinking Pennyroyal Tea
Taste the leaf that brings absolution
Forgiveness is like fruit of the vine
Pass the days of our misdemeanours
Drinking Pennyroyal Tea
I've seen so much there's nothing left
It's an ipso facto netherworld
And Leonard Cohen becomes the moment
That stretches into eternity
So let us enjoy each others company
Passing quips and anodynes
It's ipso facto if you choose too
Drinking Pennyroyal Tea
And still the world turns on it's axis
Nothing changes when it's in vogue
Fashion statements are fictitious
In this Pennyroyal Tea abode
Author notes
Option 1. ipso facto "by the fact itself" Or "by that very fact".
