Down So Long lyrics

Sun sets 'cross the ocean,

I'm a thousand miles from anywhere,

My pocketbook and my heart both just got stolen,

And the sun act like shouldn't even care.

The wind blows cold when you reach the top,

It feels like someone's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe,

I got a plastic Jesus, a cordless telephone for every corner of my room,

Got everybody but you telling me what to do.

But I've been down so long,

Ooh, it can't be longer still,

I've been down for so long,

That the end must be drawing near.

I look to everybody but me to answer my prayers,

Till I saw an angel in the bathroom

Who said she saw no one worth saving anywhere

And a blind man on the corner said it's simple like flipping a coin:

Don't matter what side it lands on if it's someone else's dime.

But I've been down so long

Ooh, it can't be longer still

We've been down for so long

That the end must be drawing near

I take a trip, I catch a train, I catch a plane

I got a ticket in my hand,

And then a fat man takes my money

And like cattle we all stand.

But we've been down so long

Ooh, it can't be longer still

We've been down for so long

The end must be...

I know the end must be...

Oh, I know the end must be drawing near
