Lyrics Tom Waits – Please Wake Me Up
Text:
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
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
