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.
Music
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 ****' 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.
