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