Casey joins the hallow sound of people walking down The stairway to the subway in the shadows below Following their footsteps through the neon corridors Of silent never speaking to a soul
The air he's breathing has a dirty smell of dying it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain But Casey minds the 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, a kiss to make a body smile See she said, I put on new just to please you Lord she said, Casey can you stay a while
Casey leaves the underground and inside the Golden Crown For something wet to wipe away the that's on his bones Seeing his in the lives of all the lonely men Who reach for anything thay can to keep going home
in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter Never glancing in the mirror at the people by And he stumbles as leavin' and he wonders if the reason Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear in his eye
Oh she said, I you seldom think about me Now she said, now that you've a of your own Still she said, it's so good to feel your body she said, Casey it's a shame to be alone
Oh she said, Casey it's been so 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 Lord she said, can you only stay a while Lord she said, it's a shame to be alone
