Too long in exile
Baby those people just ain't

Too long in exile my friend
You can never go home again

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

Drives you up against, up against the wall
'Cause you've been on the mainland, baby
Been on the mainland, comin' on strong (Alright)

All takes up too much time
Check your better self baby
You gotta satisfy, satisfy your mind

Too long in exile
You can never go back home again

Too long in exile
You're about to drive me just insane

Too long in exile, been too long in exile
Just like James Joyce, baby

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)
