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 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
´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 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
we´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 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... I know the end must be...
oh, I know the end must be drawing near
