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?" |
