Casey joins the hollow sound

Of silent people walking down

The stairway to the subway

In the shadows down below

Following the footsteps

Through the neon darkened corridors

Of silent desperation

Never speaking to a soul

The poisoned air he's breathing

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 clicking of the turnstile

And the rattle of his chain

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 underground

And stops inside the Golden Crown

For something wet to wipe away

The chill that's on his bones

Seeing his reflection

In the lives of all the lonely men

Who reach for anything they can

To keep from going home

Standing 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 family 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
