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 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
