Wallflowers - Sidewalk Annie Lyrics

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 Wallflowers Lyrics Sidewalk Annie Lyrics
