Down So Long - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Sun sets 'cross 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

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, a plastic Jesus and a cordless telephone for every corner of my room, got

Everybody but you telling me what to do

But I've been down so long

Oh, it can't be longer still

I've been down so long

That the end must be drawin' near

Looked 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 the blind man on the corner said it's simple

Like flipping a coin

Don't matter what side it lands on if it's

Someone else's dime

But I've been down so long

Oh, it can't be longer still

I've been down so long

That the end must be drawin' near

I take a trip, I catch a train, I catch a plane

I got a ticket in my hand, and then a

A fat man takes my money and like cattle, we all stand

We've been down so long

Oh, it can't be longer still

We've been down so long

The end must be

Oh, I know the end must be

Oh, I know the end must be drawin' near
