Casey joins the hallow of silent people walking down The stairway to the subway in the down below Following their footsteps through the neon darkened Of silent desperation never to a soul
The poison air he's breathing has a smell of dying Cause it's never seen the and it's never felt the rain But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the echoes Of the of the turnstyle and the rattle of his chain
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 just to please you Lord she said, Casey can you only stay a
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the Golden For wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men Who reach for thay 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 if the reason Is the beer in his belly 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 she said, Casey it's a shame to be alone
Oh she said, it's 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 she said, Casey can you only stay a while Lord she said, Casey it's a to be alone
