lirik lagu michael e. johnson - down so long

[verse 1]
i’ve got a list in my pocket
an accounting of sins
of an amateur prophet
on a run of close wins
i once thought i’d lost it
but i found it again
now there’s blood in the driveway where the pavement begins

[chorus]
been down so long, but i’m still above ground
telling jokes to the shadows when they come around
so i sing when i can and i take what i’m paid
and i manage this mess that i’ve made

[verse 2]
there’s a hole in my story
where you used to be
i’ve covered it poorly
with gin and tv
went looking for glory
with eyes that can’t see
and the silence gets loud around quarter past three

[chorus]
been down so long, but i’m still above ground
telling jokes to the shadows when they come around
so i sing when i can and i take what i’m paid
and i manage this mess that i’ve made
[verse 3]
the beast in my bloodstream
has taken control
in black and white daydreams
i’m p~wning my soul
this reckless routine
has taken its toll
and the pills don’t do nothin’ once the whiskey takes hold

[chorus]
been down so long, but i’m still above ground
telling jokes to the shadows when they come around
so i sing when i can and i take what i’m paid
and i manage this mess that i’ve made

[bridge]
maybe i’m broken, but i’m still in one piece
drawn to the places where mercy runs cheap
i’ve bartered my voice for a moment of peace
and i’ll sing it again if it helps me to sleep
i’ll sing if it helps me to sleep
