The sun sets across the ocean
Im a thousand 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 for every 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
I looked to everybody but me
To answer my prayers
Until I found an angel in the bathroom
Who said she didnt see anybody who was saving anywhere
And the blind man said, "Simple... like flipping a coin -
Dont matter what side it lands on
So long as its somebody elses dime"
Cause if youre the top of the bottom
It all feels the same
We live out of fear if were too rich or were 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
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
Im 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
Weve been down so long
It cant be that much longer still
Weve been down so long
That the end must be...
The end must be...
The end must be drawing near
