| Lyrics: | She told you about it through a broken, bleeding windpipe
It shook your bones and made your
life feel skin-tight.
Sidewalk Annie,
Now your coattails have come undone.
Your
whisper's a scream now
Since you don't speak to anyone.
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.
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,
Blew out the candles and I hoped for somethin' that she could,
She could
sell.
Sidewalk Annie,
Now your coattails come undone.
Your whisper's a scream
now
Since you don't speak to anyone |
