Video clip

Charlie freak had but one thing to call his own
Three weight ounce pure golden ring no precious stone
Five nights without a bite, no place to lay his head
And if nobody takes him in he'll soon be dead

On the street he spied my face i heard him hail
In our plot of frozen space he told his tale
Poor man, he showed his hand, so righteous was his need
And me so wise i bought his prize for chicken feed

Newfound cash soon begs to smash a state of mind
Close inspection fast revealed his favorite kind
Poor kid, he overdid, embraced the spreading haze
And while he sighed his body died in fifteen ways

When i heard i grabbed a cab to where he lay
'round his arm the plastic tag read 'd.o.a'
Yes jack, i gave it back, the ring i could not own
Now come my friend i'll take your hand and lead you home
