Jewel - Been Down So Long lyrics

Your rating:
The sun sets across the ocean 
I`m a thousasnd mile from anywhere 
And my pocketbook in 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 
Feels like somebody`s face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe 
Got a plastic jesus and a ...???... corner of my room 
Got everybody but you tellin` me what to do 
*** 
Well I`ve been down so long 
It can`t be that much longer still 
And I`ve been down for so long 
That the end must be drawing near 
*** 
I looked to everybody but me 
To answer my prayers 
Until I found an angel in the bathroom 
Who said she didn`t see anybody who was savin anywhere 
And the blind man said, "Simple... like flipping a coin - 
Don`t matter what side it lands on 
So long as it`s somebody else`s dime" 
Cause if you`re the top of the bottom 
It all feels the same 
We live out of fear if we`re too rich or we`re too poor 
Fuess all I can do is museter up some change 
And little bit of faith 
And take some dignity when I walk through this door 

*** (Chorus) 

Gonna take a trip 
Catch a train 
Got a ticket in my hand 
And then a fat man takes my money 
And like cattle we all stand 
I`m just a faceless body lost in this vast and worthless sea 
In a thousand people I do not know 
But really they are no different from me 
They all have passion 
They all have fear 
They all have intense confusion 
And no sweet moments that are clear 
They all have aspirations 
High hopes and dreams 
And are really that alone like me 
*** 
We`ve been down so long 
It can`t be that nmuch longer still 
We`ve been down so long 
That the end must be... 
The end must be... 
The end must be drawing near
