Song Lyrics

Written by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan


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
