[00:06.520] |
Casey joins the hallow sound of silent people walking down |
[00:13.310] |
The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below |
[00:20.230] |
Following their footsteps through the neon darkened corridors |
[00:26.330] |
Of silent desperation never speaking to a soul |
[00:34.160] |
The poison air he's breathing has a dirty smell of dying |
[00:41.130] |
Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain |
[00:48.160] |
But casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes |
[00:55.390] |
Of the clicking of the turnstyle and the rattle of his chain |
[01:09.430] |
Oh she said, casey it's been so long since i've seen you |
[01:22.030] |
Here she said, just a kiss to make a body smile |
[01:33.790] |
See she said, i put on new stockings just to please you |
[01:44.930] |
Lord she said, casey can you only stay a while |
[01:59.170] |
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the golden crown |
[02:05.940] |
For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones |
[02:13.570] |
Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men |
[02:20.460] |
Who reach for anything thay can to keep from going home |
[02:27.430] |
Standing in the corner casey drinks his pint of bitter |
[02:34.280] |
Never glancing in the mirror at the people passin' by |
[02:41.210] |
And he stumbles as he's leavin' and he wonders if the reason |
[02:48.430] |
Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye |
[03:02.850] |
Oh she said, i suppose you seldom think about me |
[03:15.510] |
Now she said, now that you've a family of your own |
[03:26.590] |
Still she said, it's so blessed good to feel your body |
[03:37.890] |
Lord she said, casey it's a shame to be alone |
[03:48.130] |
Oh she said, casey it's been so long since i've seen you |
[04:00.030] |
Here she said, just a kiss to make a body smile |
[04:10.880] |
See she said, i put on new stockings just to please you |
[04:22.290] |
Lord she said, casey can you only stay a while |
[04:33.120] |
Lord she said, casey it's a shame to be alone |
