Casey's Last Ride Lyrics - Singles - Calexico

Casey joins the hollow sound 

of silent people walking down 

the stairway to the subway 

in the shadows down below 

following their footsteps 

through the neon-darkened corridor 

silent desperation 

never speaking to a soul 

the poison air he is breathing 

has the dirty smell of dye 

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 clickin' of the turnstiles 

and the rattle of his chains

oh, she said, 

casey, it's been so long 

since i 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 bone 

seeing his reflection 

in the lives of all the lonely men 

who reach for anything they can 

to keep from going home 

Photos 

standing in the corner 

casey drinks his pint of bitter 

never glancing in the mirror 

at the people passing by 

and he stumbles as he's leaving 

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
