The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite

 


This here is the place where I will be stayin’


 

 


There isn’t a number, you can call the payphone

Let it ring a long, long, long, long time


 

 


If I don’t pick up, hang up, call back

Let it ring some more

The structure is waiting to be chopping into apartments. It was built in 1869.
