《Casey's Last Ride》歌词:
[00:07.90]Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down,
[00:13.69]The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below.
[00:20.37]Following their footsteps through the neon-darkened corridors,
[00:25.86]Of silent desperation, never speaking to a soul.
[00:34.22]The poison air he's breathing has the dirty smell of dying,
[00:39.64]Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain.
[00:47.19]But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes,
[00:52.90]Of the clicking of the turnstiles and the rattle of his chains.
[01:04.97]"Oh," she said: "Casey, it's been so long since I've seen you."
[01:14.01]"Here," she said: "just a kiss to make a body smile."
[01:23.40]"See," she said: "I've put on new stockings just to please you."
[01:32.82]"Lord," she said. "Casey, can you only stay a while."
[01:46.85]Casey leaves the underground and stops inside The Golden Crown,
[01:52.56]For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones.
[01:58.42]Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men,
[02:03.86]Who reach for anything they can to keep from going home.
[02:12.80]Standing in the corner, Casey drinks his pint of bitter,
[02:18.05]Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by.
[02:25.78]Then he stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason,
[02:31.00]Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye.
[02:43.05]"Oh," she said: "I suppose you seldom think about me."
[02:52.36]"Now," she said: "now that you've a family of your own."
[03:01.43]"Still," she said: "It's so blessed good to feel your body."
[03:11.31]"Lord," she said: "Casey, it's a shame to be alone."

[00:07.90]人群过后,凯西陷入无声的沉默
[00:13.69]通向地铁的台阶被阴影笼罩
[00:20.37]借着幽暗的霓虹,跟着人群穿过走廊
[00:25.86]无言的绝望,让人彼此缄默
[00:34.22]他正吸食的在空气中散发出死亡的气息
[00:39.64]因为它从未见过阳光,从未淋过雨露
[00:47.19]凯西注意到箭头(路标),却忽视了末日的回声
[00:52.90]十字转门的咔哒声和锁链的咣当声
[01:04.97]哦,她说,凯西我们早已相遇
[01:14.01]嗨,她说,简单一个吻会让人幸福快乐
[01:23.40]看吧,她说,我穿上新的丝袜只是为了取悦你
[01:32.82]上帝呀,她说,凯西你能再待一会儿吗
[01:46.85]凯西出了地铁,驻足在金色王冠站
[01:52.56]他抖擞精神驱散潮湿空气带来的寒意
[01:58.42]思索着所有孤独的人的命运
[02:03.86]他们浪迹天涯却不愿回到故乡
[02:12.80]凯西在街角一隅喝着苦啤酒
[02:18.05]对镜子里闪过的行人毫不在意
[02:25.78]他离开时,一路踉跄.他纳闷儿
[02:31.00]这是由于肚子里的酒还是眼中的泪
[02:43.05]哦,她说,我猜你从未想起过我
[02:52.36]喂,她说,你现在有家了
[03:01.43]还有,她说,有你在身边真的很棒
[03:11.31]上帝呀,她说,凯西孤独的人是可耻的
