[00:00.09][Verse 1 ]
[00:11.43]Casey joins the hollow sound
[00:14.13]Of silent people walking down
[00:16.98]The stairway to the subway
[00:19.71]In the shadows down below
[00:23.22]Following their footsteps
[00:25.32]Through the neon darkened corridors
[00:28.41]Of silent desperation
[00:31.05]Never speaking to a soul
[00:37.02]The poison air he's breathing
[00:39.33]Has the dirty smell of dying
[00:42.39]Because it's never seen the sunshine
[00:45.36]And it's never felt the rain
[00:49.92]Casey minds the arrows
[00:52.23]And ignores the fatal echoes
[00:55.32]Of the clicking of the turn stops
[00:58.20]And the rattle of his chains
[01:05.64]Oh, she said, Casey it's been
[01:09.75]So long since I've seen you
[01:13.89]Here she said just a kiss
[01:17.82]To make a body smile
[01:22.08]See she said I've put on
[01:26.01]New stocking just to please you
[01:30.30]Lord, she said. Casey
[01:33.93]Can you only stay a while?
[01:37.17][ Instrumental ]
[01:47.91][Verse 2]
[01:49.74]Casey leaves the underground
[01:52.47]And stops inside the Golden Crown
[01:55.17]For something wet
[01:56.70]To wipe away the chill that's in his bones
[02:00.84]Seeing his reflection
[02:03.54]In the lives of all the lonely men
[02:06.42]Who reach for anything they can
[02:09.33]To keep from going home
[02:14.73]Standing in the corner
[02:17.28]Casey drinks his final bitter
[02:20.28]Never glancing in the mirror
[02:23.01]At the people passing by
[02:27.27]Then he stumbles as he's leaving
[02:29.76]And he wonders if the reason
[02:32.88]Is the beer that's in his belly
[02:35.70]Or the tear that's in his eye
[02:43.17]Oh, she said, I suppose
[02:47.10]You seldom think about me
[02:51.42]Now she said, now
[02:54.66]That you've a family of your own
[02:58.89][Outro]
[02:59.52]Still she said it's
[03:02.85]So blessed good to feel your body
[03:07.92]Lord, she said, Casey
[03:11.52]It's a shame to be alone. hmm...
