Liz Phair - Polyester Bride



I was talking, not two days ago,

To a certain bartender, I'm lucky to know

And I asked Henry, my bartending friend,

If I should bother 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 you wanna be a polyester bride?

Or do you wanna hang your head and die?

Do you wanna find aligator cowboy boots they just put on sale?

Do you 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 it is 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 you wanna be a polyester bride?

Do you wanna hang your head and die?

Do you wanna find aligator cowboy boots they just put on sale?

Do you wanna flap your wigs and fly away from here?

"Princess do you

Really wanna flap your wings and fly...

Because you've, you've got time.&

He keeps telling me:  You've, you've got time.

But I don't believe him

"You've, you've got time.

I keep on pushing harder...

I keep on pushing farther away

But he keeps telling me:  Baby, baby do you wanna be a polyester bride?

Do you really wanna flap your wings and fly away from here?
