Down So Long

Sun sets 'cross the ocean

I'm a thousand miles from anywhere

My pocketbook 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 ofmy room

Got everybody but you telling me what to do

CHORUS

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

'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 acoin

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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS
