Been Down So Long (1987) Lyrics by Poi Dog Pondering

PDP X 5

0

[Intro]
One, two
One, two, three
[Chorus]
I've been down so long it looks like up to me
Down so long it looks like up to me
I've been down so long
[Verse 1]
What used to sound cacophony
Now sings in perfect harmony (Harmony)
So who's been in the sun? (Yeah, who's been in the rain?)
Ah, who's been in the sun? (Yeah, who's been in the rain, yeah?)
[Chorus]
I've been down so long it looks like up to me
I've been down so long it looks like up to me
I've been down so long
I've been down
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I wish for catastrophe
And the order that chaos can bring
Like the mistake that leads to the new thing
Of the divining rod and the fresh water spring
[Chorus]
I've been down so long it looks likе up to me
Down so long it looks like up to me
I'vе been down so long
[Verse 3]
Pound upon pound (Touché)
Or limb upon limb (Ah, to sway)
Oh, it's not depressing, it's just that way
You know that right or wrong can't be done in a day
[Verse 1]
What used to sound cacophony
Now sings in perfect harmony (Harmony)
So who's been in the sun? (Yeah, who's been in the rain?)
Ah, who's been in the sun? (Yeah, who's been in the rain?)
Will you tell me now, who's been in the sun? (Yeah, who's been in the rain?)
Ah, who's been in the sun? (Who's been in the rain?)
