New Coat of Paint

Tom Waits · Original Album Series [2011]

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
