Exiled in Alicante

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
