Down So Long (Demo)

[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

And the wind blows cold when you reach the top

It feels like somebody'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

Got everybody but you telling me what to do

[Chorus]

But I've been down so long

It can't be that much longer still

I been down so long

That the end must be drawing near

[Verse 2]

Look to еverybody but me to answer my prayеrs

Until I found an angel in a bathroom

Who said she didn't see nobody worth saving anywhere

Blind man on the corner said it's simple like flipping a coin

Don't matter what side it lands on

So long as it's somebody else's dime

Took you to town on the bottle, it all feels the same

We live out of fear if we're too rich or we're too poor

Yes, all we can do is muster up some spare change

And let a bit of faith tear out some dignity with me as I

Walk out this door

[Chorus]

'Cause I've been down so long

Can't be that much longer still

I've been down so long

That the end must be drawing near

[Bridge]

Gonna take a trip, catch a train

Got a ticket in my hand

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

A thousand people I do not know

But, really, they are no different from me

They all have a passion

They all have fear

They all have intense confusion

And no sweet moments that are clear

They all have high hopes

Aspirations and dreams

And really they're alone like me

Me, oh

[Chorus]

And we've been down so long

It can't be that much longer still

We've been down so long

That the end must be, I know

The end must be

The end must be drawing near

Oh, oh, oh
