Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The sun sets across the ocean
I'm a thousand miles from anywhere
A pocketbook and my heart both just got stolen
And that sun, act like she don't even care
[Verse 2]
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 cordless telephone
For every corner of my room
Got everybody but you tellin' me what to do
[Verse 3]
Well, I've been down so long
Oh, it can't be longer still
I've been down so long
That the end must be drawin' near
[Verse 4]
Looked at 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 the blind man on the corner said, "It's simple
Like flipping a coin
No matter what side it lands on if it's someone else's dime
[Verse 5]
Well, I've been down so long
Oh, it can't be longer still
I've been down so long
That the end must be drawin' near
[Verse 6]
I take a trip, I catch a train, I catch a plane
I got a ticket in my hand
And then a, a fat man takes my money
And like cattle, we all stand
[Verse 7]
We've been down so long
Oh, it can't be longer still
We've been down so long
For the end must be
Oh, I know the end must be
Oh, I know the end
Must be drawin' near
