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.

[00:11.89]The ponies run, the girls are young,
[00:15.77]The odds are there to beat.
[00:19.20]You win a while, and then it s done –
[00:28.32]Your little winning streak.
[00:31.07]And summoned now to deal
[00:39.86]With your invincible defeat,
[00:44.49]You live your life as if it s real,
[00:49.68]A Thousand Kisses Deep.
[00:53.11]I m turning tricks, I m getting fixed,
[01:02.47]
[01:04.52]I m back on Boogie Street.
[01:08.95]
[01:14.01]You lose your grip, and then you slip
[01:17.76]Into the Masterpiece.
[01:21.13]And maybe I had miles to drive,
[01:27.87]And promises to keep:
[01:35.75]You ditch it all to stay alive,
[01:42.80]A Thousand Kisses Deep.
[01:47.98]
[01:49.11]And sometimes when the night is slow,
[02:20.11]The wretched and the meek,
[02:25.92]We gather up our hearts and go,
[02:32.67]A Thousand Kisses Deep.
[02:37.80]Confined to sex, we pressed against
[02:45.27]The limits of the sea:
[02:49.27]I saw there were no oceans left
[02:57.63]For scavengers like me.
[03:03.94]I made it to the forward deck.
[03:10.30]I blessed our remnant fleet –
[03:17.55]And then consented to be wrecked,
[03:22.30]A Thousand Kisses Deep.
[03:27.39]I m turning tricks, I m getting fixed,
[03:34.58]I m back on Boogie Street.
[03:38.75]I guess they won t exchange the gifts
[03:47.38]That you were meant to keep.
[03:51.44]And quiet is the thought of you,
[03:59.42]The file on you complete,
[04:05.80]Except what we forgot to do,
[04:11.86]A Thousand Kisses Deep.
[04:17.42]
[04:18.85]And sometimes when the night is slow,
[04:49.76]The wretched and the meek,
[04:55.75]We gather up our hearts and go,
[05:02.92]A Thousand Kisses Deep.
[05:07.45]The ponies run, the girls are young,
[05:15.07]The odds are there to beat...
[05:19.11]You win a while, and then it s done –
[05:29.48]Your little winning streak.
[05:31.60]And summoned now to deal
[05:39.58]With your invincible defeat,
[05:48.20]You live your life as if it s real,
[05:51.88]A Thousand Kisses Deep.
