New Coat of Paint - Lyrics 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 old bloodshot moon In that Burgundy sky All our scribbled love dreams 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 So 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
