The Wallflowers - Sidewalk Annie lyrics

She told you about it through a broken bleeding windpipe Shook your bones and made your life feel skin-tight Sidewalk Annie now your coattails 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 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 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 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
