Checkout Line - Citizen King

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 going again

Because I’m behind with every line that I’m in

Single file in the pile, Calgon take me away

Smile on the 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

Until 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

Until the next time I’m waiting in the checkout line

Where I waste my time, marinade and skip again I’ll be doing fine

Till the next time, till the next time

Well, it’s up in the air in the checkout line

Where I waste my time, marinade and skip again

An escalator away in the checkout line

Where I waste my time, marinade and skip again

I’m checking in at the checkout, I’m boomerang on the dime drop

Stop just passing by, just passing by
