Please Wake Me Up

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 well ring in the new year
I know that shell 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 Ive ever seen
When our divorces are final
Shell fit right into my scheme
Next to the pawnshops a chapel
Ill show you just what I mean
And if I fall asleep in your arms
Please wake me up in my dreams
