Down So Long

The sun sets across the ocean I'm a thousand miles from anywhere A pocketbook and my heart Both just got stolen And that sun act like she don't even care 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 and a cordless telephone for every corner of my room Everybody but you telling me what to do Well, I've been down so long Oh, it can't be longer still And I've been down for so long That the end must be drawing near I looked to everybody but me To answer my prayers Til I saw an angel in the bathroom Who said she saw no one worth saving anywhere And the blind man on the corner said "It's simple, like flipping a coin Don't matter what side it lands on It's someone else's dime" Well, I've been down so long Oh, it can't be longer still And 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 fat man takes my money And like cattle we all stand We've been down so long Oh, it can't be longer still We've been down so long That the end must be I know the end must be Oh, I know the end Must be drawing near
