[00:07.05]Casey joins the hallow sound of silent people walking down
[00:12.62]The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below
[00:19.56]Following their footsteps through the neon darkened corridors
[00:25.27]Of silent desperation never speaking to a soul
[00:34.52]The poison air he's breathing has a dirty smell of dying
[00:39.77]Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain
[00:48.11]But casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes
[00:53.85]Of the clicking of the turnstyle and the rattle of his chain
[01:05.55]Oh she said, casey it's been so long since i've seen you
[01:14.66]Here she said, just a kiss to make a body smile
[01:23.56]See she said, i put on new stockings just to please you
[01:32.95]Lord she said, casey can you only stay a while
[01:42.10]Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the golden crown
[01:47.79]For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones
[01:54.67]Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men
[01:59.64]Who reach for anything thay can to keep from going home
[02:08.64]Standing in the corner casey drinks his pint of bitter
[02:14.81]Never glancing in the mirror at the people passin' by
[02:22.14]And he stumbles as he's leavin' and he wonders if the reason
[02:27.58]Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye
[02:39.45]Oh she said, i suppose you seldom think about me
[02:48.29]Now she said, now that you've a family of your own
[02:57.45]Still she said, it's so blessed good to feel your body
[03:06.49]Lord she said, casey it's a shame to be alone
