Lyrics - Annie's Back In Town - In the evening he stumbles home with his tie undone - And as the moon sweeps 7th Avenue as usual - You lie awake at night - You remember when - now that Annie's back in town - - Well I know why you're drinking - I know your alibi - Don't make up excuses - for those are tears in your eyes - And you're falling back in love again - now that Annie's back in town - - And it came down through the grapevine - It put your business on the street - I hear you've been hanging out 'til dawn in some lunch room - Well you thought you've gotten over her - but that was 'til you found - that Annie's back in town - - And all the corner boys - are trouble-makers - and the sailors are all fools - You know it seems like some things round here - I guess they'll never change - Oh but it's always good for business - Guess we'll be seeing you around - now that Annie's back in town - - - Written by: Tom Waits - - - Published by: Fifth Floor Music, Inc. � 1978 - - - Official release: "Paradise Alley" soundtrack.
