Sidewalk Annie

LETRA

Sidewalk Annie

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
