Intro:
Am
AmCasey joins the hollow sound of Gsilent people walking down 
The Fstairway to the subway and the Emshadows down below 
AmFollowing the footsteps through the Gneon darkened corridor 
Of Fsilent desperation, never Emspeaking to a Amsoul 
The Fpoison air he's breathing has a Amdirty smell of dying 
Cause it's Gnever seen the sunshine and it's Emnever felt the rain 
AmCasey minds the arrows and igGnores the fatal echoes 
Of the Fclicking of the turnstile and the Emrattle of the Amchains
"OhC", she said "Casey it's been so long since I've seen Gyou" 
"Here," she said "Just a kiss to make a body Csmile" 
"See," she said "I've put on new stockings just to please Gyou"
"Lord," she said "Casey can you only stay a Cwhile" 
Instrumental:
Am G C Am
AmCasey leaves the underground and Gstops inside the Golden Crown 
For Fsomething wet to wipe away the Emchill that's in his bones 
AmSeeing his reflection in the Glives of all the lonely men 
Who Freach for anything they can to Emkeep from going Amhome 
FStanding in the corner, Casey Amdrinks his pint of bitter 
Never Gglancing in the mirror at the Empeople passing by 
He Amstumbles as he's leaving and he Gwonders if the reason 
Is the Fbeer that's in his belly or the Emtear that's in his Ameye 
"OCh", she said "I suppose you seldom think about Gme" 
"Now", she said, "Now that you've a family of your Cown 
"Still", she said "It's so blessed good to feel your Gbody 
"Lord", she said "Casey it's a shame to be aClone"
