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 cordless telephone

For every corner of my room

Got everybody but you tellin' me what to do

Well, I've been down so long

Oh, it can't be longer still

I've been down so long

That the end must be drawin' near

Looked at everybody but me to answer my prayers

Till I saw an angel in a 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

No matter what side it lands on if it's someone else's dime

Well, I've been down so long

Oh, it can't be longer still

I've been down so long

That the end must be drawin' near

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

I got a ticket in my hand

And then a, 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

For the end must be

Oh, I know the end must be

Oh, I know the end

Must be drawin' near
