Biloxi Parish

"Biloxi Parish"

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 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 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?
Who else can take all your blood and your curses?
Nobody I've 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 your blood and your curses?

Nobody I seen you hanging around.
Seen you hanging around.
