Polyester Bride — Liz Phair

I was talking not two days ago To a certain bartender I'm lucky to know I asked Henry my bartending friend If I should go on dating unfamous men

And Henry said You're lucky to even know me You're lucky to be alive You're lucky to be drinking here for free Cause I'm a sucker for your lucky pretty eyes

And then he said Do ya wanna be a polyester bride Do ya wanna hang your head and die Do ya wanna find alligator cowboy boots they just put on sale Do ya wanna flap your wings and fly Away from here

I was sitting not two days ago Feeling lonely cause I'm just feeling low And I asked Henry my bartending friend Why is it that there are those kind of men

And Henry said You're lucky to even know me You're lucky to be alive You're lucky to be drinking here for free Cause I'm a sucker for your lucky pretty eyes

And then he said Do ya wanna be a polyester bride Do ya wanna hang your head and die Do ya wanna find alligator cowboy boots they just put on sale Do ya wanna flap your wings and fly Away from here

Cause you've got time He keeps telling me you've got time But I don't believe him You've got time Keep on pushing harder I keep on pushing farther away He keeps telling me maybe He says maybe

Do ya wanna be a polyester bride Do ya wanna hang your head and die Do ya wanna find alligator cowboy boots they just put on sale Do ya wanna flap your wings and fly Away from here

Do ya wanna be a polyester bride (Repeat 'till the end)
