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 |
|
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 |
|
Last time I checked my bankroll, it was gettin' 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 tryin' to have me some fun |
|
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 |
