joins the hallow sound of silent people walking down The stairway to the subway in the down below their 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 felt the But Casey minds the and ignores the fatal echoes Of the clicking of the and the rattle of his chain
Oh she said, it's 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 stockings to please you Lord she said, can you only stay a while
leaves 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 thay can to keep from going
Standing in the Casey drinks his pint of bitter glancing in the mirror at the people passin' by And he stumbles as he's leavin' and he wonders if the Is the beer that's in his or the tear that's in his eye
Oh she said, I suppose you seldom 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 it's a shame to be
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 just to please you she said, Casey can you only stay a while Lord she said, Casey a shame to be alone
