Down so long The sun sets across the ocean Im a thousand miles from anywhere And my pocketbook and my heart Both just got stolen And the sun acts like She dont even care The wind blows cold When you reach the top Feels like someones 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 Ive been down so long Ooh, it cant be longer still Ive 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, its simple, Like flipping a coin Dont matter what side it lands on If its someone elses dime But Ive been down so long Ooh, it cant be longer still Weve 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 weve been down so long Ooh, it cant be longer still Weve been down so long The end must be... I know the end must be... Oh, I know the end must be Drawing near
