"New Coat Of Paint" lyrics
(originally by Tom Waits)
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 babe, 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
Never miss the shuffle on an overflowin' day
When love needs a transfusion, shoot it full of wine
Fishin' for a good time starts with throwin' in your line
Let's put a new coat of paint on this lonesome old town
Set 'em up, set 'em up, we'll knock 'em all down
You wear a dress babe, I'll wear a tie
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon in that burgundy sky
Set 'em up, set 'em up, we'll be knockin' 'em down
You wear a dress babe, 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
Never miss the shuffle on an overflowin' day
When love needs a transfusion, shoot it full of wine
Fishin' for a good time starts with throwin' in your line
Let's put a new coat of paint on this lonesome old town
Set 'em up, set 'em up, we'll knock 'em all down
You wear a dress babe, I'll wear a tie
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon in that burgundy sky
