Illegal Smile

When I woke up this morning things were lookin’ bad    Seems like total silence is the only friend I have    A 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 well 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 I sat down in my closet with all my overalls      Just tryin’ to get away from all the years inside these 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    Chorus    well done hotdog bun my sisters a nun.
