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 whispers a scream now

Since you dont 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 whispers a scream now

Since you dont speak to anyone

Little girl in your white ice skates

Weve 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 wasnt gone, but lost instead

Sidewalk annie

Now your coattails have come undone

Your whispers a scream now

Since you dont 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 whispers a scream now

Since you dont speak to anyone
