Cheap Thrills

Drunk when no one is there

Two bar stools away

from the man I'd love

I could barely sway me a love shoulder

or wink me a love eye.

So I'll drink

without the present past

of what's on the screen

in front of me.

Disaster. Disaster.

There is no time for you.



"But my gin and half lit lucky

are waiting at a popcorn stand."



There starts a fight in the corner

next to the jukebox player

that played my serenade

somewhere in Boulder

where the drinks were stronger.

I missed you. I missed you.

You stupid soldier.

Your serenade. Your serenade.



Anonymous

like our government,

you didn't want to be seen

as the jackel or pride,

so you swayed in your heels

in hell and cheap thrills.

Be keen

be keen



or forget

and forget



and be clean.
