Biloxi Parish

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 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've been down Biloxi Parish And that's all the same to me I found that nothing truly matters That you cannot find for free I love you more than can I 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've seen you hanging around Seen you hanging around And all our heroes were failures or ghosts Burned out in brilliant explosions alone And all of 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 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've seen you hanging around Seen you hanging around
