Casey joins the hallow sound of silent people down The stairway to the subway in the down below their footsteps through the neon darkened corridors Of silent desperation never to a soul
The air he's breathing has a dirty smell of dying Cause it's never seen the and it's never felt the rain But Casey the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes Of the of the turnstyle and the rattle of his chain
Oh she said, Casey it's been so long 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, Casey can you only stay a
Casey leaves the underground and inside the Golden Crown For wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones Seeing his reflection in the of all the lonely men Who reach for anything thay can to keep from home
Standing in the corner Casey drinks his of bitter Never glancing in the 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 that's in his eye
Oh she said, I you seldom 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 it's a to be alone
Oh she said, it's been so long since I've seen you Here she said, just a kiss to make a 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 it's a to be alone
