Down the street from the hotel Same old streets that we know so well A few high-rises line the walls of urban hell The kids are kicking through the snow
Where the exiles go Where the exiles go
Come via Stockholm on a train Don't wanna make that trip again Glad to be out here in the sleet and the rain Norwegian men I love them so
Where the exiles go Where the exiles go
Making movies for the man Getting to work in the back of a van Getting heavy in a haze of crystal meth. Hey no one's ever gonna know
Where the exiles go Where the exiles go
A lot of people come through here A lot has changed over the years The kids are getting really young now That come to turn the golden wheels And you will never ever know just how it feels This kind of human sacrifice To be invisible to everybody's eyes And to Mister politican on the radio And to Mister charming richman in the TV show Do you know?
Where the exiles go Where the exiles go
And when the driving snow Is driving everyone home Then all the exiles must go Go walking on their own They never stop and talk And they never slow down A lone and mindless flight Like so many animals might Be running for their lives They too are running now Whatever made them run Is never far behind
Is there something out there They just have to find? Or can they just never run far enough? And you see it when you see them pass you by And you see it when you look into their eye That only exiles know Where all the exiles go That only exiles know Where all the exiles go
Don't look back Never slow down Don't look back Never slow down Don't look back Never slow down Don't look back Never slow down
