New Coat of Paint

Words and music 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 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
