"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'll 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 are lost or thrown away
Here amidst the shuffle of an overflowing day
Our love needs a transfusion, let's shoot it full of wine
Fishin' for a good time starts by 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 be knockin' 'em down
You'll wear a dress, baby, 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'll 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 are lost or thrown away
Here amidst the shuffle of an overflowing day
Our love needs a transfusion, let's shoot it full of wine
Fishin' for a good time starts by 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 be knockin' 'em down
You'll wear a dress, baby, I'll wear a tie
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon in that burgundy sky
