A Thousand Kisses Deep

Lyrics

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
