PAPER MILL - Lock and Key

Stranded in holloway and there is no way I can get home,
Got no credit on my card, borrowing someone's phone.
Told me he'd pay me back as soon as he got paid,
But his friend he works with hasn't given him a shift in days.
He kicked me out again but he didn't hit me this time, yes I'm fine,
Can you lend me 10 pounds when I get home,
I'll pay you back when I sell that phone, oh come on, please.

Please let him in he's a friend of mine,
I can't tell you his name but yes it's fine,
sometimes he spends time in my bed.
He's got no place to go and I feel sorry for him,
It's a feeling that I know.
He always brings something to smoke,
and he buys me just eat when I'm broke.

18 years old and I've got no idea,
How you're expecting me to live when you're killing me down here,
18 years old and I've got no idea,
How you're expecting me to live when you're killing me down here.

I was on my way back from the police station,
he stopped me and asked if I knew Ray-Shawn,
the next thing I know I'm on the pavement,
Why does my t-shirt feel damp,
I believe I am god damned,
Oh help me please,
But no one helps anybody on these streets.

18 years old and I've got no idea,
How you're expecting me to live when you're killing me down here,
18 years old and I've got no idea,
How you're expecting me to live when you're killing me down here.

(no one helps anyone, you're killing me down here)
(I was on the way back from the police station,
stopped me and asked if I knew Ray-Shawn,
Next thing I know I'm on the pavement).
