Casey joins the hallow of silent people walking down The stairway to the subway in the shadows below Following footsteps through the neon darkened corridors 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 minds the and ignores the fatal echoes Of the clicking of the turnstyle and the 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
leaves the underground and stops inside the Golden Crown For wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men Who reach for anything thay can to from going home
Standing in the corner drinks his pint of bitter Never in the mirror at the people passin' by And he stumbles as leavin' and he wonders if the reason 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, it's so blessed to feel your body she said, Casey it's a shame 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 just to please you Lord she said, Casey can you only a while Lord she said, Casey a shame to be alone
