Down So Long

down so long

sun sets cross the ocean
im a thousand miles from anywhere
my pocketbook and my heart both just got stolen
and the sun act like she dont even care
the wind blows cold when you reach the top
it feels like someones 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 cant be longer still
i've been down so long
that the end must be drawing near
i look to everybody but me to answer my prayers
'til i saw an angel in a bathroom
who said she saw no one worth saving anywhere
and a blind man on the corner said its simple, like flipping a coin
dont matter what side it lands on if its someone elses dime
but i ve been down so long
ooh, it cant be longer still
i've been down 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 man takes my money
and like cattle we all stand
but i ve been down so long
ooh, it cant be longer still
i've been down so long
that the end must be drawing near
that the end must be drawing near
