Tom Waits - New Coat of Paint lyrics

rate me

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

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

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

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

All our scribbled lovedreams are lost or thrown away

Here amidst the shuffle of an overflowing day

Love needs a transfusion, let's shoot it full of wine

Fishing for a good time starts with throwing 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 knocking 'em down

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

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