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
