| 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 |
