Keychain

I need a keychain, to lock up all this trouble
I need a fast train, leaving on the double
I'm going someplace, that's hard to follow
Got that feeling, that I should be long gone
I'm as bad as I can get, playing russian roulette
I need a keychain, baby right now
I'm playing no games, this ain't no water pistol
Ain't it insane, there's no chance of missing
No one holds me, you ain't got my number
If you see me, just run for cover
Well I'm as wild as I can get, I'm playing russian roulette
I got no keychain, baby right now
Owww
Owww
Well I'm in a guided missile, and I'm lost in the sky
I won't be returning, until things feel right
I got a poison pen letter, ain't that all I need
Some pretty woman's, trying to make a ghost of me
I got no keychain, to lock up all my sorrow
I need a fast plane, I'm leavin' in a hurry
I'm going some place, where you can't follow
I got that feeling, that I should be long gone
Well I'm as mad as I can get, I'm playing russian roulette
Need a keychain, baby, all mine
