Jewel "Down So Long" |
Sun sets across the ocean I'm a thousand miles from anywhere My pocketbook and my heart both just got stolen And that 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 and a cordless telephone For every corner of my room I got everybody but you telling me what to do CHORUS: But I been down so long Oh it can't be longer still I 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 a corner said "It's simple, like flippin' a coin Don't matter what side it lands on if it's someone else's dime" CHORUS: But I been down so long Ooh It can't be longer still I been down so long that the end must be drawing near BRIDGE: I take a trip, I catch a train, I catch a plane I got a ticket it my hand And then a fat man takes my money And like cattle we all stand CHORUS: We been down so long Oh oh, it can't be longer still We been down so long, the end Must be why I know the end Must be why I know the end must be drawing near Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
