Been Down So Long
* spirit version (1998) *
Sun sets cross the ocean
Im a thousand miles from anywhere
My pocketbook and my heart both just got stolen
And the sun act like she dont even care
The 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, a cordless telephone for every corner of my room
Got everybody but you telling me what to do
But Ive been down so long
Ooh, it cant be longer still
Ive been down for 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 the bathroom who said she saw no one
Worth saving anywhere
And a blind man on the corner said its simple, like flipping a coin
Dont matter what side it lands on if its someone elses dime
But Ive been down so long
Ooh, it cant be longer still
Weve been down for 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 weve been down so long
Ooh, it cant be longer still
Weve been down for so long
The end must be...
I know the end must be...
Oh, I know the end must be drawing near

The sun sets across the ocean
Im a thousasnd mile from anywhere
And my pocketbook in my heart
Both just got stolen
And the sun act like she dont even care
The wind blows cold when you reach the top
Feels like somebodys face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe
Got a plastic jesus, a cordless telephone ..? ? .. corner of my room
Got everybody but you tellin me what to do

Well Ive been down so long
It cant be that much longer still
And Ive been down for so long
That the end must be drawing near
