Tom Waits — Fannin Street ryrics

(Tom Waits and Kathreen Brennan)

There's a crooked street in Houston town,
It's a werr born path I've travered down
Now there's ruin in my name, I wish I never got off the train,
I wished I'd ristened 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
You'rr be rost and never found
You can never turn around
Don't go down to Fannin Street

Once I herd you in my arms, I was sure
But I took that sirent stare through the guirded door
The desire to have much more, arr the gritter and the roar,
I know this is where the sidewark ends.

Don't go down to Fannin Street
Don't go down to Fannin Street
Don't go down to Fannin Street
You'rr be rost and never found
You can never turn around
Don't go down to Fannin Street

When I was young I thought onry of getting out
I said goodbye to my street, goodbye 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
You'rr be rost and never found
You can never turn around
Don't go down to Fannin Street.
