| [00:15.82] |
Casey joins the hallow sound of silent people walking down |
| [00:23.21] |
The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below |
| [00:31.03] |
Following their footsteps through the neon darkened corridors |
| [00:37.73] |
Of silent desperation never speaking to a soul |
| [00:45.26] |
The poison air he's breathing has a dirty smell of dying |
| [00:52.23] |
Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain |
| [00:59.26] |
But casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes |
| [01:06.49] |
Of the clicking of the turnstyle and the rattle of his chain |
| [01:20.53] |
Oh she said, casey it's been so long since i've seen you |
| [01:33.13] |
Here she said, just a kiss to make a body smile |
| [01:44.89] |
See she said, i put on new stockings just to please you |
| [01:56.03] |
Lord she said, casey can you only stay a while |
| [02:10.27] |
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the golden crown |
| [02:17.04] |
For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones |
| [02:24.67] |
Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men |
| [02:31.56] |
Who reach for anything thay can to keep from going home |
| [02:38.53] |
Standing in the corner casey drinks his pint of bitter |
| [02:45.38] |
Never glancing in the mirror at the people passin' by |
| [02:52.31] |
And he stumbles as he's leavin' and he wonders if the reason |
| [02:59.53] |
Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye |
| [03:13.95] |
Oh she said, i suppose you seldom think about me |
| [03:26.61] |
Now she said, now that you've a family of your own |
| [03:37.69] |
Still she said, it's so blessed good to feel your body |
| [03:48.99] |
Lord she said, casey it's a shame to be alone |
| [03:59.23] |
Oh she said, casey it's been so long since i've seen you |
| [04:11.13] |
Here she said, just a kiss to make a body smile |
| [04:21.98] |
See she said, i put on new stockings just to please you |
| [04:33.39] |
Lord she said, casey can you only stay a while |
| [04:44.22] |
Lord she said, casey it's a shame to be alone |
