Casey joins the hallow sound of silent people walking The stairway to the subway in the down below Following footsteps through the neon darkened corridors Of silent never speaking to a soul
The poison air breathing has a dirty smell of dying Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the But minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes Of the clicking of the and the rattle of his chain
Oh she said, Casey been so long 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, Casey can you only stay a
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the Crown For something wet to wipe the chill that's on his bones Seeing his in the lives of all the lonely men Who reach for anything can to keep from going home
Standing in the corner Casey his pint of bitter Never glancing in the mirror at the people 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 seldom about me Now she said, now that you've a of your own she said, it's so blessed good to feel your body Lord she said, it's a shame to be alone
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 just to please you Lord she said, can you only stay a while she said, Casey it's a shame to be alone
