she told you about it through a broken bleeding windpipe.
it shook your bones and made your life feel skintight.
well, sidewalk annie
now your coattails have come undone,
your whisper's a scream now
since you don't speak to anyone.
the howlin' winds could never care what she liked,
rhythm and blues or a stranger in the night
it tore up the trailer with the sounds of a howlin' wolf,
the cellar was stone, even the garden was bulletproof.
well, sidewalk annie
now your coattails have come undone,
your whisper's a scream now
since you don't speak to anyone
little girl in your white ice skates,
we've seen your face walkin' around the old school gates,
with a hand on your hip and the other one on your head,
you realized it wasn't gone, but lost instead.
sidewalk annie
now your coattails have come undone.
your whisper's a scream now
since you don't speak to anyone.
invested a nickel into the banks of a wishing well
and blew out the candles and hoped for somethin' that she could, she
could sell.
sidewalk annie
now your coattails have come undone.
your whisper's a scream now
since you don't speak to anyone. |
