LIZ PHAIR - Polyester Bride lyrics

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, "your 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 want to be a Polyester Bride?

Or do you want to hang your head and die?

Do you want to find alligator cowboy boots they just put on sale?

Do you want to 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 want to be a Polyester Bride?

Or do you want to hang your head and die?

Do you want to find alligator cowboy boots they just put on sale?

Do you want to flap your wings and fly away from here?"

"Princess do you

really wanna flap you're wings and fly....

Because you've got time."

He keeps tellin me, "you've got time."

But i dont believe him

"you've got time."

I keep on pushing harder...

I keep on pushing farther away

But he keeps tellin me, "baby, he says baby. yeah...."

" Do you want to be a Polyester Bride?

Or do you want to hang your head and die?

Do you want to find alligator cowboy boots they just put on sale?

Do you want to flap your wings and fly away from here?"

Do you want to be a Polyester Bride?

Do you want to be a Polyester Bride?

Do you want to be a Polyester Bride?

Princess, do you really wanna flap you're wings and fly away from here
