Casey joins the hallow sound of people walking down The stairway to the in the shadows down below Following footsteps through the neon darkened corridors Of silent desperation speaking to a soul
The air he's breathing has a dirty smell of dying Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never the rain But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the echoes Of the of the turnstyle and the rattle of his chain
Oh she said, Casey been so long since I've seen you Here she said, just a kiss to make a body See she said, I put on new just to please you Lord she said, can you only stay a while
Casey the underground and stops inside the Golden Crown 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 can to keep from going home
in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter Never glancing in the mirror at the passin' by And he as he's leavin' and he wonders if the reason Is the beer 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 you've a 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 Here she said, just a kiss to a body smile See she said, I put on new stockings to please you Lord she said, Casey can you stay a while Lord she said, Casey a shame to be alone
