Lyrics for Been Down So Long by Jewel:
| | | Artist: | Jewel |
| | Album: | Miscellaneous | | Track: | Been Down So Long | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 90 | | | | Lyrics: | The sun sets across the ocean
I'm a thousand miles from anywhere
And my pocketbook and 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 cordless phone for every corner of my room
Got everybody
but you telling 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 worth saving 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.
Guess all I can do is muster
up some change and a little bit of faith
And take some dignity when I walk through this
door.
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.
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
With 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 really they are alone
Like me.
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.
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
The end must be
The end must
be drawing near | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
