Gaslight Anthem, The - Stray Paper Lyrics
You better never tell nobody but God,
All the things I've seen.
From high above this haunted city,
Under elected thrones of thieves.
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.
And underneath the tyranny of august and her sons,
Who sent fire from their fingertips in the holy vow of a teenage kiss.
Now we're much too old for this,
So don't you cry for me,
I used to feel everything.
Oh but love... (run, run, run)
Oh but love... (run, run, run)
Oh but love... Love, love, love becomes...
Oh but love... Love, love, love becomes...
Love, love, love becomes...
Love, love, love becomes...
And all my love becomes...
And all my love, my love...
Became blood on stray paper.
Became blood on stray paper.
Became blood on stray paper.
Became blood on stray paper.
Became blood on stray paper.
Became blood on stray paper.

Gaslight Anthem, The Stray Paper Comments
Fantastic.
Needs more views!
The Track would be great if it wasnt a "Only Love"- Love Song xD
Boston =)
Sick vocals.
This song is pure perfection unlike any other song I've ever heard before. 💎
Still love this so so much
Best song on the record, period.
I think my favorite line of the entire album, "don't you cry for me, I used to feel everything"
This. Yes
bendietrees I agree
Best lyric is "sent fire from their finger tips in holy war over teenage kids"
Sucks it's such a short song :(
Amazing album. Brian wears his heart on his sleeve. A lot of heartache on this album.
I agree Edward. Probably his most personal that he's ever done; and that says a lot since all of their songs have deep meaning.
The guitar in this sounds a lot like Dear Rosemary by Foo Fighters
Dang good!
Beautiful song,,,amazing
loving the lyrics to this one.
afghan whigs
At the beginning I thought that this is a Foo Fighters' song "Dear Rosemary"
Great song, reminds of The Afghan Whigs a lot!
What a great song
"Became blood on stray paper...." Gives me effin chills! Love this band!
This takes me away to a special place! Just like everything by TGA it is pure genius!
This should have been one of the singles
my exact thought the first time i heard it
