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 funChorus:
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 funLast 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 salesmenRepeat Chorus:
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 HoffmanAh 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
And now
You could decide to explore a new friendship, PHILLIP. The energy of the day will put you in a social mood. If you've been hiding under a shell lately, now you'll be ready to break out of it. You'll enjoy a friendly chat or exchanging pleasantries with a store clerk. You might even want to have a nice conversation with your neighbor - you get the idea. Allow yourself to reach out to others.
Yeah whatever!
That's about all for this morning, It's going to be in the 30s today again, and I'll be working with a construction project today, but today's shouldn't take too long. Hopefully I can get back to Maintenance.
