Casey joins the hallow of silent people walking down The to the subway in the shadows down below Following their footsteps through the neon corridors Of silent desperation speaking to a soul
The poison air he's has a dirty smell of dying Cause it's never the sunshine and it's never felt the rain But Casey the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes Of the clicking of the and the rattle of his chain
Oh she said, Casey it's been so long since seen you she said, just a kiss to make a body smile See she said, I put on new stockings to please you Lord she said, Casey can you only stay a
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the Golden For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men Who reach for anything thay can to keep from going
Standing in the corner Casey drinks his of bitter Never glancing in the at the people passin' by And he stumbles as he's leavin' and he if the reason Is the beer that's in his belly or the that's in his eye
Oh she said, I suppose you seldom think me Now she said, now that you've a family of own Still she said, it's so good to feel your body Lord she said, Casey it's a shame to be
Oh she said, it's been so long since I've seen you Here she said, just a kiss to a body smile See she said, I put on new stockings just to you Lord she said, Casey can you stay a while she said, Casey it's a shame to be alone
