sun sets 'cross the ocean I'm a thousand mile from anywhere my pocketbook and heart both just got stolen and that sun act like she don't even care wind blows cold when you reach the top it feels like someones face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe I got a plastic jesus and cordless telephone for every corner of my room everybody but you telling me what to do I've been down so long ooh, it can't be longer still I've been down so long the end must be drawing near I look to 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 a blind man on a corner said its simple like flipping a coin don't matter what side it lands on if it's someone elses dime 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 take a trip, I catch a plane I catch a train I got a ticket 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 that the end must be I know the end must be oh, I know the end must be drawing near
