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
