"casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walkinÂ` down
The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below.
Following their footsteps through the neon darkened corridors
Of silent desperation never speaking to a soul.
The poison that heÂ`s breathing has the dirty smell of dying
Because itÂ`s never seen the sunshine and itÂ`s never felt the rain
But casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes
Of the clicking of the turnstiles and the rattle of its chains.

Â`ohÂ` she said Â`casey itÂ`s been so long since iÂ`ve seen you.Â`
Â`hereÂ` she said Â`just a kiss to make a body smile.Â`
Â`seeÂ` she said Â`i put on new stockings just to please you.Â`
Â`lordÂ` she said Â`casey can you only stay a while?Â`

Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the golden crown
For something wet to wipe away the chill thatÂ`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 final bitter
Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by
Then he stumbles as heÂ`s leaving and he wonders if the reason
Is the beer thatÂ`s in his belly or the tear thatÂ`s in his eye.

Â`ohÂ` she said Â`i sÂ`pose you seldom think about meÂ`
Â`nowÂ` she said Â`now that youÂ`ve a family of your own.Â`
Â`stillÂ` she said Â`itÂ`s so blessed good to feel your body.Â`
Â`lordÂ` she said Â`casey itÂ`s a shame to be alone.Â`
