I’ve Been Down So Long (It Looks Like Up To Me) He walks these tracks and never looks around He bums what he can get in any town He’s grown content to live on charity I’ve been down so long it looks like up to me I make excuses when I read his name On the side of some old dirty train It conjures up a taste of fantasy I’ve been down so long it looks like up to me I’ve been down so long it looks like up to me Well I pushed him off the ladder of success But down here on the bottom I get rest Oh uh he saves his thoughts to buy a memory I’ve been down so long it looks like up to me Ohh I put my finger in his mind’s eye And I’ve given him a reason now to cry I put his song of life in the wrong key I’ve been down so long it looks like up to me by: José Duarte
