Casey joins the hallow sound of people walking down The stairway to the in the shadows down below Following their footsteps the neon darkened corridors Of desperation never speaking to a soul
The poison air he's has a dirty smell of dying Cause never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain But Casey the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes Of the clicking of the turnstyle and the rattle of his
Oh she said, Casey it's been so long since seen you Here she said, 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 a while
Casey leaves the and stops inside the Golden Crown For something wet to away the chill that's on his bones Seeing his in the lives of all the lonely men Who reach for anything thay can to keep from home
in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter Never glancing in the at the people passin' by And he stumbles as he's leavin' and he wonders if the Is the beer in his belly or the tear that's in his eye
Oh she said, I you seldom think about me Now she said, now that you've a family of 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 since seen you Here she said, just a 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 it's a to be alone
