Casey joins the hallow sound of silent people walking The stairway to the subway in the shadows down Following their footsteps through the neon darkened Of silent desperation speaking to a soul
The poison air breathing has a dirty smell of dying Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's 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 so long since I've seen you Here she said, just a to make a body smile See she said, I put on new stockings just to you Lord she said, Casey can you only stay a
Casey leaves the underground and inside the Golden Crown For something wet to away the chill that's on his bones Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the men Who reach for anything thay can to keep from home
Standing in the Casey drinks his pint of bitter Never glancing in the mirror at the people by And he stumbles as he's leavin' and he wonders if the Is the beer that's in his or the tear that's in his eye
Oh she said, I suppose you think about me Now she said, now that you've a of your own Still she said, so blessed good to feel your body Lord she said, Casey it's a to be alone
Oh she said, Casey it's so long since I've seen you she said, just a kiss to make a body smile See she said, I put on new stockings just to you Lord she said, Casey can you only a while Lord she said, Casey a shame to be alone
