I've been wandering around for almost a day now
since I ran out of our apartment
with your locket with the picture inside.
Christ, was that our son?
I thought you left that memory behind
and now here I am saddled with it.
Well don't worry 'cos I need my next fix real bad
and if that pure white stuff put you out of your misery
then I wanna catch the next flight too.
My gut which is about to fall out right now
is telling me to find the nearest pawn shop
and sell your locket with the picture inside.
I really can't take it any more
without you by my side
and because of our bad habits
it will not be too long now
until I join you and our son
somewhere better than here.
Mercy, here I am at the devil's
everything has a price emporium
and she's tempting me
to make this quick and easy.
"Give me your locket
with the picture inside"
she cackles
and I am forever
in her debt.
Of course it's not much
but I have enough cash
not to let you down.
Our son has been waiting too long
and time is of the essence.
I will head back to our apartment
so proud of the pawn exchange
and then I can lay down with you
thanks
to your locket
with the picture inside.
