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
