Wallflowers - Sidewalk Annie lyrics

rate me

She told you about it through a broken bleeding windpipe

It shook your bones and made your life feel skintight

Wellsidewalk 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 stoneeven the garden was bulletproof

Wellsidewalk 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 gonebut 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

Couldshe could sell

Sidewalk annie

Now your coattails have come undone

Your whisper's a scream now

Since you don't speak to anyone
