Illegal Smile (LP版)

Illegal Smile (LP版) - John Prine (約翰·普林)

When I woke up this morning things were looking bad

Seem like total silence was the only friend I had

Bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down and won

It was twelve o'clock before I realized

That I was having no fun

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 trying to have me some fun

Last time I checked my bankroll it was getting thin

Sometimes it seems like the bottom

Is the only place I've been

Chased a rainbow down a one way street dead end

And all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen

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 trying to have me some fun

Well I sat down in my closet with all my overalls

Trying to get away from all the ears inside my walls

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 trying to have me some fun

Well done hot dog bun my sister's a nun
