Down So Long

The sun sets across the ocean

I'm a thousand miles from anywhere

And my pocketbook and my heart

Both just got stolen

And the sun acts like

She don't even care

The wind blows cold

When you reach the top

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

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 so long

That the end must be drawing near

I look to everybody but me

To answer my prayers

Until I saw an angel

In a 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 so long

The end must be...

I know the end must be...

Oh, I know the end must be

Drawing near
