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
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
I Chased a rainbow down a one-way street... dead end
And all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen
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
No. I'm just tryin' to have me some fun
Well done, hot dog bun, my sister's a nun

Sweep the Ashes Please
Wish you would have told me when I was young
When I had space to fill and someone to become,
'Cause darling I'm beside myself and I don't think that you
'Cause darling I'm beside myself and I don't think that you
Know which one of me you are talking to
I'm tired of trying to make it up to you
Sweeping the ashes and hiding the truth
I'm tired of pretending everything's alright
Let me feel, let me feel what I'm feeling tonight
Wish you would have warned me before today
That you had fallen out, your love had gone away
Wish I could have stopped you before you left
It was a lesson that you left behind instead,
Taking the easy way out every time
Come with me.....
I ran outside, right into you, and instantly you said you knew
that you were the only one, I'd ever need to know
You said you knew the answers
and you said, that it's just another day
I came here with a voice, a chance to make a choice
an island of a mind, with bridges built with time
I'm not saving grace, use it all the time
sometimes it gets misplaced, denies that it is mine
and then I just can't see, I get lost in misery
Come with me
