Down So Long

Lyrics & Info	Tabs	Performances (284)

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
