Casey joins the sound of silent people walking down The stairway to the subway in the shadows below Following footsteps through the neon darkened corridors Of silent never speaking to a soul
The poison air he's breathing has a smell of dying Cause it's never seen the and it's never felt the rain But Casey minds the and ignores the fatal echoes Of the of the turnstyle and the rattle of his chain
Oh she said, Casey it's been so since I've seen you Here she said, just a kiss to make a smile See she said, I put on new just to please you Lord she said, Casey can you only stay a
Casey leaves the underground and stops the Golden Crown For something wet to wipe away the chill on his bones Seeing his reflection in the of all the lonely men Who for anything thay can to keep from going home
in the corner Casey 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 belly or the tear in his eye
Oh she said, I suppose you think about me Now she said, now you've a family of your own she said, it's so blessed good to feel your body Lord she said, Casey a shame to be alone
Oh she said, Casey been 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 she said, Casey it's a shame to be alone
