Too Long in Exile

[Intro]

Living in exile too long

[Chorus]

Too long in exile

Too long not singing my song

Too long in exile

Too long like a rolling stone

Too long in exile

Too long in exile

Baby those people just ain't

Just ain't your friends

Too long in exile my friend

You can never go home again

[Verse 1]

Well that isolated feeling

Drives you so close up against the wall

Till you feel like you can't go on

You've been in the same place for too long

[Chorus]

Too long in exile

Baby, you can never go back home

Too long in exile

Anyway you want (Yeah)

(Living in exile too long) Yeah

(Living in exile too long)

[Verse 2]

Oh, that isolated feeling

Drives you up against, up against the wall

'Cause you've been on the mainland, baby

Been on the mainland, comin' on strong (Alright)

[Chorus]

Well, too long in exile

Too long people keep hanging on, alright (Living in exile too long)

Too long in exile

Too long like a rolling stone (Living in exile too long)

Lord have mercy

(Living in exile too long)

(Living in exile too long)

[Verse 3]

And the wheeling and the dealing

All takes up too much time

Check your better self baby

You gotta satisfy, satisfy your mind

[Chorus]

Too long in exile

Too long you've been grinding at the mill (Living in exile too long)

Oh, too long in exile

Man, I've really just had my fill (Living in exile too long)

(Living in exile too long)

Too long in exile

You can never go back home again (Living in exile too long)

Too long in exile

You're about to drive me just insane (Living in exile too long)

[Outro]

Too long in exile, been too long in exile

Just like James Joyce, baby (Living in exile too long)

Too long in exile

Just like Samuel Beckett baby

Too long in exile

Just like Oscar Wilde (Living in exile too long)

Too long in exile

Just like George Best, baby

Too long in exile

Just like Alex Higgins, baby (Living in exile too long)

Too long in exile
