The Gaslight Anthem - Biloxi Parish lyrics
[The Gaslight Anthem - Biloxi Parish lyrics]
I've been fumbling with your heartstrings
And that's good enough for me
And if I've rained on one of your hours
Then I know I must be working
Try it on for size, my darling
See what a man you can make out of me
I will eventually haunt you
Or you'll eventually be my queen
And I'll be with you through the dark
So that you do not go through the dark alone
Or on your own
I been down Biloxi Parish
And that's all the same to me
I've found that nothing truly matters
That you cannot find for free
I love you more than I can tell you
And when you pass through from this world
I hope you ask to take me with you
Or that I won't have to wait too long
But until then
I'll be with you through the dark
Yes, until then
I'll be with you through the dark
And who else can say that about you, baby?
Who else can say that about you now?
And who else can take all
You blood and your curses?
Nobody I seen you hanging around
Seen you hanging around
And all of our heroes were failures or ghosts
Burned out in brilliant explosions alone
And all of the blood and
The sweat that they gave
Well, we took it all and we threw it away
And who else can say that about you, baby?
Who else can say that about you now?
And who else can take all
You blood and your curses?
Nobody I seen you hanging around
And who else can say that about you, baby?
Who else can say that about you now?
And who else can take all
You blood and your curses?
Nobody I seen you hanging around
Seen you hanging around
And that's good enough for me
And if I've rained on one of your hours
Then I know I must be working
Try it on for size, my darling
See what a man you can make out of me
I will eventually haunt you
Or you'll eventually be my queen
And I'll be with you through the dark
So that you do not go through the dark alone
Or on your own
I been down Biloxi Parish
And that's all the same to me
I've found that nothing truly matters
That you cannot find for free
I love you more than I can tell you
And when you pass through from this world
I hope you ask to take me with you
Or that I won't have to wait too long
But until then
I'll be with you through the dark
Yes, until then
I'll be with you through the dark
And who else can say that about you, baby?
Who else can say that about you now?
And who else can take all
You blood and your curses?
Nobody I seen you hanging around
Seen you hanging around
And all of our heroes were failures or ghosts
Burned out in brilliant explosions alone
And all of the blood and
The sweat that they gave
Well, we took it all and we threw it away
And who else can say that about you, baby?
Who else can say that about you now?
And who else can take all
You blood and your curses?
Nobody I seen you hanging around
And who else can say that about you, baby?
Who else can say that about you now?
And who else can take all
You blood and your curses?
Nobody I seen you hanging around
Seen you hanging around
