New Coat of Paint

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



(Tom Waits)
