Getting High in Dubai - Exiles Lyrics

Exiles from our hearts
Exiles from our minds
Coral turns to stone
Ostracism kind
Exiles in our heart
Exiles in our mind

Escaping on our own streets
Violence triumphs over peace
Nightmares dare to become real
Children begging are told they steal

Exiles in our own country
Exiles in our own body
Does it end in tyranny
Exiles in our own country
Sickness without remedy
Exiles in our own bodies

Are we Bedouins in concrete tents
Bands of orphans charming serpents
Order melted, wilted steel
Simulacra becomes real

Exiles in our bodies
Exiles in our countries
Sickness without remedy
Exiles not armed or ready
Exiles in our bodies
Raising a clenched fist
Trying to resist
Math with a broken abacus
Launching into the abyss

We are exiles
Standing trial for our love
