New Coat Of Paint Lyrics - Southside Johnny And The Asbury Jukes

(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
