Citizen King Lyrics
"Checkout Line"

Well it's up in the air, an escalator away
A comma into the phrase, another ticket to pay
Well I can't see where this is goin' again
Because I'm behind with every line that I'm in

Single file
In the pile
Calgon take me away
Smile on an ugly face

While I'm

Waiting in the checkout line
Where I waste my time
Marinade and skip again
I'll be doing fine
In the meantime
'til the next time
I'm waiting in the checkout line

Liquid crystal display
Turning a year and a day
A special light for the blues
On a big holiday

Well I can't see where this is going again
Because I'm dead last with every line that begins
Register's on the edge
With a one-way exchange
Paper or plastic today

While I'm

Waiting in the checkout line
Where I waste my time
Marinade and skip again
I'll be doing fine
In the meantime
'til the next time
I'm waiting in the checkout line

Where I waste my time
Marinade and skip again
I'll be doing fine
In the meantime
'til the next time
'til the next time

Well it's up in the air (In the check-out line)
Where I waste my time, Marinade and skip again
An escalator away (In the check-out line)
Where I waste my time, Marinade and skip again

I'm checking in at the checkout
I boomarang on the dime drop stop
Just passing by
Just passing by
