Waits, Tom - Please Wake Me Up Lyrics
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
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

Waits, Tom Please Wake Me Up Comments
Hello! I am trying to make a short film using this song (the demo version, like the video) and I was wondering if you had any clue as to how I would acquire the rights to the song? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you so much! Lovely tune.
Is there a cat meowing at 1:30 ?
This feels more like a deleted scene from a great movie than a demo.
"if I fall asleep in your arms, please wake me up in my dreams". Love this line, love this song. Thanks Tom
Ever the dreamer, ever waiting for the dream to come true. A Waitsian masterpiece.
wow, I loved this song anyway... was looking to share it with my sweety. Been a Tom fan for decades, but never heard this. Thanks a lot, chummer. You made my day!
You right man!
Man, this is beautiful.
Thank you. I didn't know there was another version of this song.
Yet here it is, and it is achingly beautiful.
I think this demo version is better than the album version. it's a more earthy feel, allows me to feel more connected to this song. Both are Gems though
Johnsburg Illinois,You can never hold back spring,Innocent when you dream,Broken Bicycles and this are the very masterpieces of Tom....and also some of the best songs ever written...
Freaking beautiful...
Wow, very rare! A fantastic song...
