When I woke up this morning, things were lookin' bad 当我早上醒来的时候，一切都看着坏

Seem like total silence was the only friend I had 似乎是完全沉默是唯一的朋友，我有

Bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down... and won 燕麦粥一碗试图盯着我失望...和韩元

And it was twelve o'clock before I realized ，这是我才意识到十二点

That I was havin'... no fun 那我就吃......不好玩

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

But fortunately I have the key to escape reality 但幸运的是我逃避现实的关键

And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile 你可能今晚看我用非法的微笑

It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while 这也花不了多少钱，但它持续很长一段时间

Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone 会不会请你告诉那人不是我杀的人

No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun 不，我只是试着让我的一些有趣

   

Last time I checked my bankroll, 我最后一次检查我的资金，

It was gettin' thin 这是刚开了薄

Sometimes it seems like the bottom 有时，它看起来像底部

Is the only place I've been 是我去过的唯一的地方

I Chased a rainbow down a one-way street... dead end 我追逐彩虹下的单向街...死胡同

And all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen 和我所有的朋友竟然是保险营销员

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

Well, I sat down in my closet with all my overalls 嗯，我在我的衣柜里坐了下来，我所有的工作服

Tryin' to get away 试着脱身

From all the ears inside my walls 所有在我的墙上耳朵

I dreamed the police heard 我梦见警察听到

Everything I thought... what then? 一切，我以为......然后呢？

Well I went to court 好吧，我去法院

And the judge's name was Hoffman 而法官的名字叫霍夫曼

   

Ah but fortunately I have the key to escape reality 阿幸好我有逃避现实的关键

And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile 你可能今晚看我用非法的微笑

It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while 这也花不了多少钱，但它持续很长一段时间

Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone 会不会请你告诉那人不是我杀的人

No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun 不，我只是试着让我的一些有趣

Well done, hot dog bun, my sister's a nun 干得好，热狗面包，我的妹妹是个尼姑
