Альбом The Gaslight Anthem

Show me your hands!
I wanna know how you dance, pretty baby, by the light of the moon.
If you carry your lovers around in a heart like a tomb, with a view,
I wanna know how you lose, pretty baby, does it show in your eyes?
Were you born to be a runner, or are you a casual sigh?
Did the boys at school break your precious heart in two?

And in every sad, sad country song,
Is there a little bitty piece of 'em still hanging on?
You tell me yours and I'll tell you mine, my dear.
Then we'll bury these old ghosts here.

Where'd you get those eyes?
What do you see with those eyes, pretty darling, in the dead of the night?
Are you saying your prayers or are you glowing like the metal on the edge of the knife?
Baby whose name sounds right on the lips of my Queen?
Am I speaking in riddles, or do you feel what I mean?
Are you dying to move, or are you dying to be the one moved?

And would you shake, shake, shake, shake, shake Senora.
If I could make you feel like he used to make you feel.
I'll swing you a song and I'll dance you a dance my dear, my dear
And would you shake, shake, shake, shake, shake Senora.
If I could make you feel like he used to make you feel.
I'll swing you a song and I'll dance you a dance my dear,
and we'll bury these old ghosts here.

I cut my teeth on the stone of a teenage romance
I was the salt of the earth, I was hard, and the last of the independents
And the breath from my chest I was blowing kerosene
My lips and fingertips were stone, I wore my heart on my jeans
I sang the blues like the dogs left too long in the street
I still sing the blues with the dogs

And I got half a mind to let it all burn up in this fire
That's been burning through my veins since I first learned to cry
I'd watch this whole night come down and never miss her again
I never felt right and never fit in
Walking in my own skin

Now I got scars like the number of stars, my mind's full of vipers
I got the dust of the desert in my bones, coming through the amplifiers
Between the minor chord fall and the fourth and the fifth
It's a broken Hallelujah and a pain in my fist
I wash my hands like the man with the blood on his teeth
Over and over without relief

And I got nothing for you darling but a story to tell
I'd watch this whole night come down and never miss her again
I never felt right and never fit in

Walking in my old man shoes, with my scientist heart
I got a fever and a beaker and a shot in the dark
I need a Cadillac ride, I need a soft summer night
Say a prayer for my soul, Señorita

Because I've been dying out here in the cold and the snow
I've got a picture of you, Mama, to remind me of home
On the hood of a Dodge on a Saturday night
Say a prayer for my soul, Señorita

We're havin' a party,
everybody's swingin'.
Tonight won't you come down,
don't make me dance all night alone(Alright!).

Call up your girlfriends ,come out tonight,
I'll call up my best friends, come out tonight
We'll put on our best shreads and finest cologne
And we'll tell the cast to overhaul.

Come on now Maria lose the tragic.
Come on now Maria show me some magic.
Meet on the warm San Juan top at twilight,
and watch the carnival lights explode

We're havin' a party,
everybody's swingin'.
Tonight won't you come down out of your tower,
don't make me dance all night alone.

I've seen it from the window, around,
so come on before we get much older,
and that can happen any one of these nights.

Before we turn to ghosts on the Missis sand,
fall in line to more conducent plans,
I never took a shot to the higher minds,
but I can hold the soft walls down.

Meet me tonight,
and see what can happen.

Meet me tonight,
and see what can happen.

We're having a party,
everybody's swingin',
tonight won't you come down,
don't make me dance all night alone

'cause everybody's shakin' like the end of the world,
and everybody's waitin' on the end of the world,
and I ain't got a friend baby left in the world,
don't make me dance all night alone...

We're havin' a party,
everybody's swinging,
tonight won't you come down out of your tower,
don't make me dance all night alone

'cause everybody's shakin' like the end of the world,
and everybody's waitin' on the end of the world,
and I ain't got a friend baby left in the world,
don't make me dance all night alone
don't make me dance all night alone

We are the boys from Little Eden
We are the hardest Saturday nights
Drank from the fountains of the fireworks
Sweat and bone for a better life

We like our choruses sung together
We like our arms in our brothers' arms
Call every girl we ever met Maria
But I only love Virginia's heart

And we sing with our heroes thirty-three rounds per minute
We're never going home until the sun says we're finished
And I'll love you forever if I ever love at all
Wild hearts, blue jeans, & white t-shirts
With wild hearts, blue jeans, & white t-shirts

Some things, babe, they never told you
Some things papa doesn't like
Spend a lifetime just to get over
You always said my mama tried

We're never going home until the sun says we're finished
And I'll love you forever if I ever love at all
Wild hearts, blue jeans, & white t-shirts
With wild hearts, blue jeans, & white t-shirts

So tonight I'll call you from a fourth-street payphone
But I'll sleep on the beach if I ain't got a ride
Someday I'll buy you that house on Cookman
We could sleep on the beach all night
Sleep on the beach if we ain't got a ride
Sleep on the beach all night
Sleep on the beach all night
Sleep on the beach if we ain't got a ride...
