The sun sets across the oceanI'm a thousand miles from anywhereA pocketbook and my heartBoth just got stolenAnd that sun act like she don't even careWind blows cold when you reach the topIt feels like someone's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoeI got a plastic Jesus and a cordless telephone for every corner of my roomEverybody but you telling me what to do
Well, I've been down so longOh, it can't be longer stillAnd I've been down for so longThat the end must be drawing near
I looked to everybody but meTo answer my prayersTil I saw an angel in the bathroomWho said she saw no one worth saving anywhereAnd the blind man on the corner said"It's simple, like flipping a coinDon't matter what side it lands onIt's someone else's dime"
Well, I've been down so longOh, it can't be longer stillAnd I've been down so longThat the end must be drawing near
I take a tripI catch a trainI catch a planeI got a ticket in my handAnd then a fat man takes my moneyAnd like cattle we all stand
We've been down so longOh, it can't be longer stillWe've been down so longThat the end must beI know the end must beOh, I know the endMust be drawing near
