New Coat of Paint
Renewing Love in a Lonesome Town
Lyrics
Let's put a new coat of paint
Renewing and revitalizing the surroundings by making positive changes
On this lonesome old town
Referring to the town as desolate or in need of improvement
Set 'em up, we'll be knockin' 'em down
Preparing for a good time or celebration, anticipating socializing
You wear a dress babe
Suggesting a formal occasion, highlighting the idea of dressing up
And I'll a tie
Emphasizing the formal attire, creating an image of a well-dressed couple
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon
Shared enjoyment of a picturesque moon in the evening sky
In that burgundy sky
Describing the sky as burgundy, possibly signifying a rich or warm atmosphere
All our scribbled love dreams are lost or thrown away
Reflection on lost or discarded dreams in the chaos of life
Here amidst the shuffle of an overflowin' day
Amidst the busyness and stress of life, symbolizing a challenging environment
Our love needs a transfusion let's shoot it full of wine
Expressing a need to rejuvenate love, using wine as a metaphor for passion
Fishin' for a good time starts with throwin' in your line.
Suggesting that seeking enjoyment requires taking proactive steps
So let's put a new coat of paint
Reiteration of the desire to bring positive change to the town
On this lonesome old town
Repeating the idea of improving the town's atmosphere through change
Set em' up, we'll be knockin' 'em down
Anticipating the enjoyment of socializing and having a good time
You wear a dress baby
Reiterating the imagery of a well-dressed couple for the occasion
I'll wear a tie
Emphasizing the formality and style of dressing for the event
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon
Recalling the shared enjoyment of the moon and sky
That burgundy sky
Reiterating the description of the sky, reinforcing the positive atmosphere
