(T. Waits)
Let`s put a new coat of paint
On this lonesome ol` town
Set `em up
I`ll be knockin` `em down, down, down
You wear a dress, baby
I`ll put on my tie
We`ll laugh at that old bloodshot moon
In a burgundy sky
All our scribbled love dreams
Are lost or thrown away
Here amid the shuffle
Of an overflowing day
Love needs a transfusion
Let`s shoot it full of wine
Fishin` for a good time
Starts with throwin` in your line
Put a new coat of paint, baby
On this lonesome ol` town
Set `em up, set `em up
I`ll be knockin` `em down,
You wear your dress, baby
I`ll root out my old tie
We`ll laugh at that bloodshot moon
Up in that burgundy sky
Yes, we will
Laugh laugh laugh laugh
Come on, come on, come on, come on
