Back when I was a cigarette girl,

当我还是个卖烟女的时候
I'd watch Dempsey coming in with his girlfriend

我看到丹普西和他的女友
wearing this thing around her neck,

脖子上戴着它走进来
and I wanted it.

我想得到它
Pretty soon, I was his girl and I had it.

没过多久我成为了他的女人我也得到了它
But it's not a necklace, Joe. It's a diamond noose,

但这不只是一个项链它是一个钻石做的枷锁
and it's getting harder to breathe.

而我越来越喘不过气了
Then we gotta turn that noose into a lifeline.

那我们就要把这个枷锁变成救命索
The question is, how?

问题是怎样变
When I'm not wearing it, Dempsey keeps it in a secret safe,

我不戴时丹普西把它放在一个秘密保险箱里
and I know where it is.

而我知道在哪里
And?

然后呢
