Polyester Bride

Liz Phair

7

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)
