Lyrics The Gaslight Anthem

The Gaslight Anthem

Biloxi Parish

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

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've seen a hanging around

Seen a hanging around

I ain't seen my home in half a year

I miss my mother and my friends

Please tell Rita

That I've been praying

For all that trouble to finally end

But When this whole thing is over

And we land in Asbury's arms

And the bands all quiets down

And it's just you and me in the dark

I won't say nothing

Cuz that's how I know your heart

I won't say nothing

Cuz that's how I know your heart.

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've seen a hanging around

Seen a hanging around

Who else can say that about you, baby

Who else can say that about you, now

Who else can say all your blood and your curses

Nobody I've seen a hanging around

Seen a hanging around
