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
