Casey joins the hallow sound of silent walking down The stairway to the in the shadows down below Following their footsteps through the neon corridors Of silent never speaking to a soul
The poison air he's breathing has a smell of dying it's 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 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 just to please you Lord she said, Casey can you only stay a
Casey leaves the underground and stops the Golden Crown For wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones Seeing his in the lives of all the lonely men Who reach for thay can to keep from going home
Standing in the 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 that's in his eye
Oh she said, I suppose you seldom about me Now she said, now that you've a family of own Still she said, it's so blessed good to feel your Lord she said, it's a shame to be alone
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 stockings to please you Lord she said, Casey can you stay a while Lord she said, it's a shame to be alone
