Fannin Street

(feat. David Bowie)



There's a crooked street in Houston town,

It's a well born path I've traveled 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

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

But I took that silent stare through the guilded door

The 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 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 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'll be lost and never found

You can never turn around

Don't go down to Fannin Street
