Illegal Smile (Live) 歌詞

 

When I woke up this morning things were lookin' bad

 

Seem like total silence was the only friend I had

 

Bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down and won

 

And it was twelve o'clock before I realized

That I was havin'

 

No fun

 

But fortunately I have the key to escape reality

 

And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile

It don't cost very much but it lasts a long while

Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone

No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun

 

Last time I checked my bankroll

 

It was gettin' thin

 

Sometimes it seems like the bottom

 

Is the only place I've been

 

I chased a rainbow down a one way street dead end

 

And all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen

 

Well I sat down in my closet with all my overalls

 

Tryin' to get away

 

From all the ears inside my walls

 

I dreamed the police heard

Everything I thought what then

 

Well I went to court

And the judge's name was hoffman

 

Ah but fortunately I have the key to escape reality

 

And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile

It don't cost very much but it lasts a long while

Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone

No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun

 

Well done hot dog bun my sister's a nun
