Everything went a little bit wrong today. I'm so tired...

...But I got a lovely box in the mail today, delivered directly to my door by my kindly building manager who fully understands the danger of leaving packages outside for the high school kids across the street to play with...

I'm going to go take a nap now in an attempt to make my life a little more worth living... But I'll leave you with this offering...

Polyester Bride
(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
Do you wanna hang your head and die
Do you wanna find alligator cowboy boots they just put on sale
Do you wanna 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 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 you wanna be a polyester bride
Do you wanna hang your head and die
Do you wanna find alligator cowboy boots they just put on sale
Do you wanna flap your wings and fly
Away from here

Princess, do you wanna flap your wings and fly

Cause you... you've got time
He keeps telling me
You... you've got time
But I don't believe him
You... you've got time
Keep on pushing harder
I keep on pushing farther away
He keeps telling me maybe
He says baby, yeah...

Do you wanna be a polyester bride
Do you wanna hang your head and die
Do you wanna find alligator cowboy boots they just put on sale
Do you wanna flap your wings and fly
Away from here

Do you wanna be a polyester bride
(Away from here)
Do you wanna be a polyester bride
(Away from here)
Do you wanna be a polyester bride
Princess do you
Do you wanna flap your wings and fly
Away from here
