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
