The Gaslight Anthem - Biloxi Parish Lyrics

I've been fondling with your heart strings
And that's good enough for me
And if I break over your house
Then I know I must been working
Try it on for size my darling
See what 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
On your own

I've been down at Biloxi Parish
And that's good enough 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
So I don't have to wait for long

But until then I'll be with you through the dark
And 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've seen ya hanging around
Seen ya hanging around

And all of our heroes with failures of ghosts
Burn down 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've seen ya hanging around
And who else can say that about you, baby
Who else can say that about you, now
And who else can say all your blood and your curses
Nobody I've seen ya hanging around
Seen ya hanging around
