Please Wake Me Up Lyrics - Franks Wild Years - Tom Waits

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
