Verse 1:
CasAmey joins the hollow sound of siGlent people walking down
The stFairway to the subway in the shaEdows down below
FoAmllowing their footsteps through theG neon darkened corridors
Of sFilent desperation,never spEeaking to a soul
Verse 2:
The pFoison air he's breathing has a diCrty smell of dying
Cause it's nDmever seen the sunshine and it's neEver felt the rain
But CAmasey minds the arrows and iGgnores the fatal echoes
Of the clFicking of the turnstile and the raEttle of his chaAmins
Bridge 1:
&qCuot;Oh",she said "Casey it's been so long sGince i've seen you"
"Here",she said "Just a kiss toC make a body smile"
"See",she said "I've put on new stockings jGust to please you"
"Lord" she said "Casey can yCou only stay awhile"
Verse 3:
CaAmsey leaves the underground and sGtops inside the golden crown
For soFmething wet to wipe away the chEill that's on his bones
SeAmeing his reflection in the liGves of all the lonely men
Who reFach for anything they can to kEeep from going home
Verse 4:
StFanding in the corner,Casey drCinks his pint of bitter
Never gDmlancing in the mirror at the peEople passing by
Then he stAmumbles as he's leaving and he wGonders if the reason
Is the bFeer that's in his belly or the tEear that's in his Ameye
Bridge 2:
&qCuot;Oh",she said "I suppose that you seldGom think about me"
"Now",she said "Now that you've a fCamily of your own"
"Still",she said "It's so blessed and goodG to feel your body"
"Lord",she said "Casey it's a CshamDme toG beC alone"
