[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
