Casey joins the hallow sound of people walking down The to the subway 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 it's never seen the sunshine and never felt the rain But Casey minds the and ignores the fatal echoes Of the clicking of the turnstyle and the of his chain
Oh she said, Casey 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 just to you Lord she said, Casey can you only stay a
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the Golden For something wet to away 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
Standing in the corner Casey drinks his pint of Never glancing in the mirror at the 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 think about me Now she said, now you've a family of your own Still she said, it's so blessed good to feel body she said, Casey it's a shame to be alone
Oh she said, Casey it's been so long I've seen you Here she said, just a kiss to a body smile See she said, I put on new stockings just to you Lord she said, can you only stay a while Lord she said, it's a shame to be alone
