She told you about it through a broken bleeding window pane
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
Howling winds could never care what she liked
The rhythm and blues or a stranger in the night
They tore up the trailer with the sounds of her howling 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
Seen your face walking 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 it 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
They blew out the candles and I hoped for
Something 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
