Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down[00:00:00]

The stairway to the subway and the shadows down below[00:00:05]

Following the footsteps through the neon darkened corridors[00:00:10]

Of silent desperation never speaking to a soul[00:00:16]

The poison air he's breathing has a dirty smell of dying[00:00:21]

'Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain[00:00:27]

Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes[00:00:32]

Of the clicking of the turnstile and the rattle of his chains[00:00:37]

"Oh" she said "Casey it's been so long since I've seen you"[00:00:47]

"Here" she said "Just a kiss to make a body smile"[00:00:55]

"See" she said "I've put on new stockings just to please you"[00:01:02]

"Lord" she said "Casey can you only stay awhile "[00:01:10]

Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the golden crown[00:01:24]

For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones[00:01:29]

Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men[00:01:34]

Who reach for anything they can to keep from going home[00:01:39]

Standing in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter[00:01:44]

Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by[00:01:49]

He stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason[00:01:55]

Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye[00:02:00]

"Oh" she said "I suppose that you seldom think about me"[00:02:10]

"Now" she said "Now that you've a family of your own"[00:02:17]

"Still" she said "It's so blessed and good to feel your body"[00:02:25]

"Lord" she said "Casey it's a shame to be alone"[00:02:33]

"Oh" she said "Casey it's been so long since I've seen you"[00:02:41]

"Here" she said "Just a kiss to make a body smile"[00:02:49]

"See" she said "I've put on new stockings just to please you"[00:02:57]

"Lord" she said "Casey can you only stay a while "[00:03:04]
