A Thousand Kisses Deep

The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it&9s done –
Your little winning streak.
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat,
You live your life as if it&9s real,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I&9m turning tricks, I&9m getting fixed,
I&9m 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&9m turning tricks, I&9m getting fixed,
I&9m back on Boogie Street.
I guess they won&9t 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...
