"Down So Long" Lyrics

Sun sets across the ocean
I'm a thousand miles from anywhere
My pocketbook and my heart both just got stolen
And that sun act like she don't even care

The 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
I got everybody but you telling me what to do

But I been down so long
Oh it can't be longer still
I 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 a corner said "It's simple, like flippin' a coin
Don't matter what side it lands on if it's someone else's dime"

But I been down so long
Oh it can't be longer still
I been down so long
That the end must be drawing near

BRIDGE:
I take a trip, I catch a train, I catch a plane
I got a ticket it my hand
And then a fat man takes my money
And like cattle we all stand

But I been down so long
Oh it can't be longer still
I been down so long
That the end must be drawing near

We been down so long
Oh oh, it can't be longer still
We been down so long, the end
Must be why I know the end
Must be why I know the end must be drawing near
