Casey Joins The Hallow Sound Of Silent People Walking 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 Air He's Breathing Has A 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 Turnstyle 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 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 Thay Can To Keep From Going Home


Standing In The Corner Casey Drinks His Pint Of Bitter


Never Glancing In The Mirror At The People Passin' By


And He Stumbles As He's Leavin' 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


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 Put On New Stockings Just To Please You


Lord She Said, Casey Can You Only Stay A While


Lord She Said, Casey It's A Shame To Be Alone
