Tom Waits - Fannin Street Lyrics
There's a crooked street in Houston town,It's a well born path I've traveled downNow there's ruin in my name, I wish I never got off the train,I wished I'd listened to the words you said.Don't go down to Fannin StreetDon't go down to Fannin StreetDon't go down to Fannin StreetYou'll be lost and never foundYou can never turn aroundDon't go down to Fannin StreetOnce I held you in my arms, I was sureBut I took that silent stare through the guilded doorThe desire to have much more, all the glitter and the roar,I know this is where the sidewalk ends.Don't go down to Fannin StreetDon't go down to Fannin StreetDon't go down to Fannin StreetYou'll be lost and never foundYou can never turn aroundDon't go down to Fannin StreetWhen I was young I thought only of getting outI said goodbye to my street, goodbye to my houseGive a man gin, give a man cards, give an inch he takes a yard,And I rue the day that I stepped off this train.Don't go down to Fannin StreetDon't go down to Fannin StreetDon't go down to Fannin StreetYou'll be lost and never foundYou can never turn aroundDon't go down to Fannin Street.
