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
