1. let me serve you a mixed drink
             with my number on the napkin
          and too nice a smile
                          for someone not sitting alone

                     it's all hooks and jinks anyway.

2. when i first heard the song
             like a movietrack on repeat
                  it was almost Christmas
               and you told me
                          you wanted it to be special

          one thousand lost vigils
                   raging into 6 a.m.s
                of birds and electricity

        spiralling down
                        into chain-smoking
               and bags under the eyes
           always in love with the screen.

3. there are hands that make songs for people
                      at 4 a.m.

              jesus christ tells me
                  i have pretty eyes
           and it's all i can do
              to keep from dying
