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
