Biloxi Parish

I've been fumblin' 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 be workin'

Try it on for size, my darlin'

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've been down Biloxi Parish

And that's all the same to me

I found that nothin' 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 ya hangin' around

Seen ya hangin' 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 ya hangin' 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 ya hangin' around

Seen ya hangin' around
