Polyester Funeral

[Intro]
[Verse]
Fluorescent lights are humming loud
I’m fading in this plastic crowd
My name tag’s bent and peeling off
The manager has a fake-dry cough
He’s checking clocks and counting bills
While I am chasing cheaper thrills
[Pre-Chorus]
The slushie’s blue and weeks expired
But baby I am way too fired
Your Honda’s idling in the lot
Let’s give them everything we got
[Chorus]
Throw the polyester out the door
I’m not working here anymore
Watch it fly like a heavy ghost
We are heading for the coast
Let the seagulls scream my name
I’m the one who quit the game
Burn the schedule, break the lock
I’m never gonna punch the clock
[Post-Chorus]
(No more shifts!) Yeah, I’m gone
(No more shifts!) Till the dawn
(No more shifts!) Drive it fast
Make the summer really last
[Verse]
Fold the shirts and mop the floor
Then watch the Karens hit the door
The discount rack is such a mess
I couldn’t possibly care less
You’re honking twice, I’m out the back
Leaving everything on the rack
[Pre-Chorus]
I left my apron on the sink
I’m closer than you even think
The radio is cranking high
We’re waving all the world goodbye
[Chorus]
Throw the polyester out the door
I’m not working here anymore
Watch it fly like a heavy ghost
We are heading for the coast
Let the seagulls scream my name
I’m the one who quit the game
Burn the schedule, break the lock
I’m never gonna punch the clock
[Hook]
Left the keys
On the counter
Found my peace
In the encounter
[Bridge]
Salt air hitting through the glass
Watch the highway miles pass
Sand is sticking to my toes
That’s just how the story goes
No more folding, no more faking
This is history in the making
[Chorus]
Throw the polyester out the door
I’m not working here anymore
Watch it fly like a heavy ghost
We are heading for the coast
Let the seagulls scream my name
I’m the one who quit the game
Burn the schedule, break the lock
I’m never gonna punch the clock
[Post-Chorus]
(No more shifts!) Yeah, I’m gone
(No more shifts!) Till the dawn
(No more shifts!) Drive it fast
Make the summer really last
[Outro]
