Down for So Long





Sun sets 'cross the ocean

I'm a thousand miles from anywhere

My pocketbrush and my heart both just got stolen

And the 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, a cordless telephone for every corner of my room

Got everybody but you telling me what to do



But I've been down for so long 

Ooh, it can't be longer still

I've been down for 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 the corner said it's simple, like flipping a coin

Don't matter matter what side it lands on if it's someone else's dime



But I've been down for so long 

Ooh, it can't be longer still

I've been down for so long

That the end must be drawing near



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

I got a ticket in my hand

And then a man takes my money

And like cattle we all stand 



But we've been down for so long 

Ooh, it can't be longer still

We've been down for so long

That the end must be ... 

I know the end must be ...

Oh, I know the end must be drawing near
