Casey joins the sound of silent people walking down The to the subway in the shadows down below Following their footsteps through the darkened corridors Of desperation never speaking to a soul
The poison air he's breathing has a smell of dying Cause never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain But minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes Of the clicking of the turnstyle and the rattle of his
Oh she said, Casey it's been so long since seen you Here she said, just a kiss to make a body See she said, I put on new stockings to please you she said, Casey can you only stay a while
Casey the underground and stops 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 going home
Standing in the corner Casey drinks his of bitter glancing in the mirror at the people passin' by And he stumbles as he's and he wonders if the reason 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 that you've a family of own Still she said, it's so blessed good to feel body Lord she said, Casey it's a shame to be
Oh she said, Casey it's been so long since seen you Here she said, just a kiss to a body smile See she said, I put on new stockings to please you she said, Casey can you only stay a while Lord she said, Casey it's a to be alone
