Polyester Bride Lyrics - Whitechocolatespaceegg - Liz Phair

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 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?" 

And 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? 

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 

Want to flap your wings and fly? 

Because you've got time" 

He keeps telling me 

"You've got time" 

But I don't believe him 

"You've got time" 

I keep on pushing harder 

I keep on pushing farther away 

But he keeps telling 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?" 

(Away from here) 

"Do you want 

To be a polyester bride?" 

(Away from here) 

"Do you want 

To be a polyester bride?" 

"Princess, do you really want 

To flap your wings and fly away from here?"
