Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down

The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below

Following their footsteps through the neon-darkened corridors

Of silent desperation never speakin' to a soul

The poison air he's breathin' has the dirty smell of dying

'Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain

But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes

Of the clickin' of the turnstiles and the rattle of his chains

Oh she said Casey it's been so long since I've seen you

Here she said just a kiss to make a body smile

See she said I've put on new stockings just to please you

Lord she said Casey can you only stay a while

Casey leaves the under-ground and stops inside the Golden Crown

For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bone

Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men

Who reach for any thing they can to keep from goin' home

Standin' in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter

Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by

Then he stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason

Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye

Oh she said I suppose you seldom think about me

Now she said now that you've a fam'ly of your own

Still she said it's so blessed good to feel your body

Lord she said Casey it's a shame to be alone
