A Thousand Kisses Deep |
The ponies run, the girls are young |
The odds are there to beat |
You win a while, and then it’s done |
Your little winning streak |
And summoned now to deal |
With your invincible defeat |
You live your life as if it’s real |
A thousand kisses deep |
I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed |
I’m back on Boogie Street |
You lose your grip, and then you slip |
Into the masterpiece |
And maybe I had miles to drive |
And promises to keep |
You ditch it all to stay alive |
A thousand kisses deep |
And sometimes when the night is slow |
The wretched and the meek |
We gather up our hearts and go |
A thousand kisses deep |
Confined to sex, we pressed against |
The limits of the sea |
I saw there were no oceans left |
For scavengers like me |
I made it to the forward deck |
I blessed our remnant fleet |
And then consented to be wrecked |
A thousand kisses deep |
I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed |
I’m back on Boogie Street |
I guess they won’t exchange the gifts |
That you were meant to keep |
And quiet is the thought of you |
The file on you complete |
Except what we forgot to do |
A thousand kisses deep |
And sometimes when the night is slow |
The wretched and the meek |
We gather up our hearts and go |
A thousand kisses deep |
The ponies run, the girls are young |
The odds are there to beat |
You win a while, and then it’s done |
Your little winning streak |
And summoned now to deal |
With your invincible defeat |
You live your life as if it’s real |
A thousand kisses deep |
