Lyrics Illegal Smile

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

And it was twelve o'clock before I realized

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

I 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

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 trying to have me some fun

Well done

Hot dog bun

My sister's a nun
