Casey joins the hallow sound of silent people down The stairway to the subway in the shadows down Following their footsteps the neon darkened corridors Of silent desperation speaking to a soul
The poison air breathing has a dirty smell of dying Cause it's never seen the 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 a body smile See she said, I put on new stockings to please you Lord she said, can you only stay a while
Casey leaves the underground and inside the Golden Crown For something wet to wipe 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 glancing in the mirror at the people passin' by And he stumbles as leavin' and he wonders if the reason Is the that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye
Oh she said, I suppose you seldom think me Now she said, now that you've a family of own Still she said, it's so blessed to feel your body Lord she said, it's a shame to be alone
Oh she said, Casey it's been so long I've seen you she said, just a kiss to make a body smile See she said, I put on new just to please you Lord she said, Casey can you only a while Lord she said, Casey a shame to be alone
