Title: Polyester Bride
Lyrics Polyester BrideI 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."
Then Henry said,
"Do you want to be a Polyester Bride?
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?
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 telling me,
"You've got time."
But I dont believe him.
He keeps telling me,
"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?
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...." |
