Down So Long
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 bathroomWho 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 longOoh, it can't be longer stillWe've been down for so longThat the end must be drawing near
I take a trip, I catch a train, I catch a planeI got a ticket in my hand,And then a fat man takes my moneyAnd like cattle we all stand.
But we've been down so longOoh, it can't be longer stillWe've been down for so longThe end must be...I know the end must be...Oh, I know the end must be drawing near
