Lock and Key Lyrics by Paper Mill

Past the West Way - EP

2020

[Verse 1]
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 for
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 ten pounds when I get home?
I'll pay you back when I sell that phone
Oh, come on, please
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Eighteen years old and I've got no idea
How you're expecting me to live
When you're killing me down here
Eighteen years old and I've got no idea
How you're expecting me to live
When you're killing me down here
[Verse 3]
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
Oh, I believe I am god damned
Oh, help me, please
But nobody helps anybody on these streets
[Chorus]
Eighteen years old and I've got no idea
How you're expecting me to live
When you're killing me down here
Eighteen years old and I've got no idea
How you're expecting me to live
When you're killing me down here
[Outro]
No one helps anyone
You're killing me down here
I was on the way back home
From the police station
Stopped me and asked
If I knew Ray-Shawn
Next thing I know
I'm on the pavement
