Please Wake Me Up
- Kathleen Brennan, Tom Waits
I
put my chips on her shoulder
running
in the carnival time
she
bought the things that I told her
they
made her eyes sparkle and shine
together
we'll ring in the new year
I know
that she'll be my queen
and
if I fall asleep in your arms
please
wake me up in my dreams
Her
out-fit was all made of vinyl
like
nothing I've ever seen
when
our divorces are final
She'll
fit right into my scheme
next
to the pawnshop's a chapel
I'll
show you just what I mean
and
if I fall asleep in your arms
please
wake me up in my dreams
