"Down So Long" lyrics

Down So Long

Sun sets across the ocean
I'm a thousand miles from anywhere
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
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 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
Till 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 mater 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
I've been down 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
Oh, I know the end must be
Oh, I know the end must be
Drawing near
Oh the end
Oh the end
Oh the end
Oh the end
Oh the end
Oh the end
Oh the end
Oh the end
Oh the end
