Biloxi Parish - The Gaslight Anthem

I’ve been fumbling with your heart strings

And that’s good enough for me

And if I’ve rained on one of your hours

Then I know I must been working

Try it on for size my darling

See what a man you can make of me

I will eventually haunt you

And you’ll eventually will 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’ve been down Biloxi Parish

And that’s all the same for me

I found that nothing truly matters

That you cannot find for free

I love you more than can I tell you

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 your 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 your blood and your curses

Nobody I seen you hanging around

Seen you hanging around

And who else can say that about you, baby

Who else can say that about you, now

Who else can take all your blood and your curses

Nobody I seen you hanging around

Seen you hanging around
