Exiled in Alicante Lyrics

It was a full moon, I was about to bleed

Exiled in Alicante

And if I wanted more, well I'd have to go wanting

The rumors were vicious

The timing unkind

And America scares me, but I know that she's mine

But oh what a beautiful mess we've made for ourselves

And I would give it all away

Do you think it would help?

And there's babies in cages, smoke in the air

And these monsters know nothing

Love ain't fair

And I'll tell you one secret before I must leave

Death is no ending, it's just a reprieve

And oh what a beautiful mess we've made for ourselves

And I would give it all away

I can't help

And oh say can you see by the dawns early light

That love is all we have

In the dark it gives light

In the dark there's still light

So if by some miracle I get to grow old

I pray it's by your side, your hand to hold

But don't do me no favors, yeah give it to me straight

It's too early for promises, before you know it's too late

But oh what a beautiful mess we've made for ourselves

And I would give it all away, do you think it would help
