Liz Phair - Polyester Bride
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
