Penne (UK /ˈpɛniː/ or US /ˈpɛneɪ/) is a type of pasta with cylinder-shaped pieces. Penne is the plural form of the Italian penna, deriving from Latin penna (meaning "feather" or "quill"), and is a cognate of the English word pen. In Italy, penne are produced in two main variants: "penne lisce" (smooth) and "penne rigate" (furrowed), the latter having ridges on each penna. There is also pennoni ("big quills"), which is a wider version of penne. The same or similar shape is also called mostaccioli (meaning "little mustache" in Italian, a form of penne lisce that is smooth, not ridged, in texture) and ziti (long hollow rods which are also smooth in texture and have square-cut edges; "cut ziti" are ziti cut into shorter tubes), and can refer to particular dishes made from penne-shaped pasta. There is also zitoni, which is a wider version of ziti. It can be somewhat difficult to differentiate between subtypes of penne in the USA, since regional differences in product naming can result in both ridged and smooth forms of penne being labelled interchangeably. In the U.S., many people refer to penne as "penne pasta", while other types of pasta are not typically referred to in this manner.
Time, I cannot turn back
I'm not living in the past
Air, it's not my first breath
Why didn't anyone tell me I'm insane
I'm having my own revolution
I'm the first in line to see the light
The doctor's giving me new medication
And I'm flying high again
Now I'm taking a permanent vacation
The monster's tamed inside of me
You got to feed the monster
Time, I cannot turn back
I'm not living in the past
Air, it's not my first breath
Why didn't anyone tell me I'm insane
I'm having my own revolution
I'm the first in line to see the light
The doctor's giving me new medication
And I'm flying high again
Now I'm taking a permanent vacation
The monster's tamed inside of me
Life, I'm not the one that's on trial
Stop, I have not time to fuck around
Life, you cannot be what you wanna be
Why, I am what I am and I stand where I stand
Feed my monster
The docter's giving me new medication
And I'm flying high again
Now I'm taking a permanent vacation
