Wallflowers - Sidewalk Annie lyrics

Album: The Wallflowers (1992)

She told you about it through a broken, bleeding windpipe
It shook your bones & made your life feel skin-tight.

Sidewalk Annie,
Now your coattails have come undone.
Your whisper´s a scream now
Since you do not speak to anyone.

Howlin´ winds could never care what she liked,
Rhythm & 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 do not speak to anyone.

Little girl in your white ice skates
We have seen your face walkin´ around the old school gates
With a hand on your hip, & 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 do not speak to anyone.

Invested a nickel into the banks of a wishing well,
Blew out the candles & 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 do not speak to anyone.
