Tom Waits New Coat of Paint song lyrics

Let's put a new coat of paint on this lonesome old town

Set 'em up, we'll be knockin' em down

You wear a dress, baby, I'll wear a tie

We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon in that burgundy sky

All our scribbled love dreams, lost or thrown away

Here amidst the shuffle of an overflowin' day

Our love needs a transfusion, so let's shoot it full of wine

Fishin' for a good time starts with throwin' in your line

So, let's put a new coat of paint, on this lonesome old town

Set 'em up, set 'em up, we'll be knockin' em down

You wear a dress, baby, I'll wear a tie

We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon in that burgundy sky
