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.
