Sing sugar, sing yourself a love song.
\n_______________<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a yodel in the radio because it knows someone like you is listening.<\/span>
\n_______________<\/span><\/p>\n

No more cigarettes in the sink, the lace you wear to breakfast, and lipsticked
\nBloody Mary glasses no longer tight-rope walk
\nthe line between loneliness and art,<\/span>
\na bird on a wire,<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0no more
\nleaving the bar early because it\u2019s Sunday and you\u2019re too drunk to get laid
\nanyway.<\/span><\/p>\n

Does any of this sound familiar to you?<\/span><\/p>\n

The time\u2019s come to sing so you don\u2019t
\nforget your fingers can sneak<\/span>
\nthemselves between the buttons of a stranger\u2019s clothes and thumb<\/span>
\nthe teeth of their music box heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can trace their eyes across the room\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0across your throat,
\nacross the roundest parts of your body sleeved in light as you<\/span>
\nwalk across the floor barefoot and half-naked.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s almost morning and there\u2019s a rightness in all this you can describe\u2014<\/span>
\n_______________<\/span><\/p>\n

Girl, open your throat.<\/p>\n

Now that you\u2019re liable, you better sing<\/span>
\n like you\u2019re decently churched.<\/span><\/p>\n
