The Gaslight Anthem Stray Paper

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
You better never tell nobody but God
All the things I’ve seen
From high above this haunted city
Under elected thrones of thieves

[Verse 2]
Where mighty men lay down their hearts
In the service of their queens
And gave their bodies to be burned
Like I did before your feet
Like she always tried for me
Like now she does for me

[Verse 3]
And underneath the tyranny of August and her sons
Who set fire from their finger tips
In the holy battle for teenage kiss
Now we’re much too old for this
I don’t feel those kinds of things
So don’t you cry for me
I used to feel everything

[Outro]
Oh but love… (run, run, run.)
Love, love, love becomes…
And all my love becomes…all my love, my love…
…became blood on stray paper
