Each and every day just locked up livin' hell
You sold your furniture so you could pay him off
They cut the power, can't afford it, you slept on the floor
And then you were no more, no more
You only live once I thought, 'til I got caught
We'd stay out all weekend, try takin' everythin'
You don't like prison life, you love to watch the sky
I did not know you no more, heartbreak, a sickness I can't see
Tied up your sheets, strang yourself up
But as a criminal, you're just no good at all
Tonight a light's gone out, 21 years old and out
You could not take no more, so when they closed the door
You're everyone's best friend, long as they've got somethin'
And y'all get beat and injured, end up throwin' up all night
As I walk on by past that awful place
You thought about skippin' bail, now you're in jail
We all went out one night, you got us in a fight
Livin' hell, livin' hell
Oh, oh, oh, no, no, no, no
You got your collar felt, was so dumb
First from your mom and then your friends and then the local shops
You owed some money to a monkey who had seen you right
As if that weren't enough for you, you'd go out Monday too
Feltham is singin' out, Feltham is singin' out
Feltham is singin' out
Feltham is singin' out, Feltham is singin' out
23 hours in a cell
Could never hurt no one and so what
Tonight a light's gone out, 21 years old and out
Every day I, I, I see your face
You can't hold down a job, so then you had to rob
And Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 'til it all caught up with you
Feltham is singin' out, Feltham is singin' out
Feltham is singin' out
