[00:08.90]Casey joins the hallow sound of silent people walking down
[00:14.28]The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below
[00:20.37]Following their footsteps through the neon darkened corridors
[00:26.14]Of silent desperation never speaking to a soul
[00:34.87]The poison air he's breathing has a dirty smell of dying
[00:40.19]Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain
[00:47.92]But casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes
[00:53.24]Of the clicking of the turnstyle and the rattle of his chain
[01:05.56]Oh she said, casey it's been so long since i've seen you
[01:14.76]Here she said, just a kiss to make a body smile
[01:24.04]See she said, i put on new stockings just to please you
[01:33.44]Lord she said, casey can you only stay a while
[01:47.61]Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the golden crown
[01:53.14]For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones
[01:59.59]Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men
[02:04.89]Who reach for anything thay can to keep from going home
[02:13.58]Standing in the corner casey drinks his pint of bitter
[02:18.65]Never glancing in the mirror at the people passin' by
[02:26.26]And he stumbles as he's leavin' and he wonders if the reason
[02:31.86]Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye
[02:43.63]Oh she said, i suppose you seldom think about me
[02:52.85]Now she said, now that you've a family of your own
[03:01.92]Still she said, it's so blessed good to feel your body
[03:11.92]Lord she said, casey it's a shame to be alone
