Tom Waits - Fannin Street

Listen to the full album: “Fannin Street“ by Tom Waits from the album 'Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards' Lyrics There's a crooked street in Houston town it's a well worn path I've followed down now 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 Street don't go down to Fannin Street don't go down to Fannin Street oh yeah you'll be lost and never found you can never turn around don't go down to Fannin Street once I held you in my arms I was sure till I took that silent step through the gilded door but the desire to have much more all the glitter and the roar now I know that this is where the sidewalk ends don't go down to Fannin Street don't go down to Fannin Street don't go down to Fannin Street you'll be lost and never found you can never turn around don't go down to Fannin Street when I was young I thought only of getting out I said good-bye to my street good-bye to my house give 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 Street don't go down to Fannin Street don't go down to Fannin Street oh yeah you'll be lost and never found you can never turn around Official Site: Official Store: Facebook: Twitter: #tomwaits #orphans
