Polyester Bride - Liz Phair

I was talking not two days ago

To a certain bartender I' 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 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

«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, do you want to be a polyester

Bride?»

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