Laugh/Smile/Love/

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
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
