c 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.
cnd summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat,
You live your life as if it's real,
c 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.
cnd maybe I had miles to drive,
cnd promises to keep:
You ditch it all to stay alive,
c Thousand Kisses Deep.

cnd sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
c 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 -
cnd then consented to be wrecked,
c 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.
cnd quiet is the thought of you,
The file on you complete,
Except what we forgot to do,
c Thousand Kisses Deep.

cnd sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
c Thousand Kisses Deep.

The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat . . .
