Casey joins the hallow sound of silent people walking down |
| [00:16.000] |
The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below |
| [00:23.000] |
Following their footsteps through the neon darkened corridors |
| [00:28.000] |
Of silent desperation never speaking to a soul |
| [00:37.000] |
The poison air he's breathing has a dirty smell of dying |
| [00:42.000] |
Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain |
| [00:50.000] |
But casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes |
| [00:56.000] |
Of the clicking of the turnstyle and the rattle of his chain |
| [01:08.000] |
Oh she said, casey it's been so long since i've seen you |
| [01:18.000] |
Here she said, just a kiss to make a body smile |
| [01:27.000] |
See she said, i put on new stockings just to please you |
| [01:36.000] |
Lord she said, casey can you only stay a while |
| [01:45.000] |
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the golden crown |
| [01:51.000] |
For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones |
| [01:58.000] |
Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men |
| [02:03.000] |
Who reach for anything thay can to keep from going home |
| [02:11.000] |
Standing in the corner casey drinks his pint of bitter |
| [02:16.000] |
Never glancing in the mirror at the people passin' by |
| [02:24.000] |
And he stumbles as he's leavin' and he wonders if the reason |
| [02:30.000] |
Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye |
| [02:42.000] |
Oh she said, i suppose you seldom think about me |
| [02:51.000] |
Now she said, now that you've a family of your own |
| [03:00.000] |
Still she said, it's so blessed good to feel your body |
| [03:10.000] |
Lord she said, casey it's a shame to be alone |
| [03:22.000] |
Thank You |
