Please, wake me up


Music & Lyrics: Tom Waits & Kathleen Brennan.
I put my chips on her soulder
running i 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 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 that 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.
