The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it's done â??

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 â??
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 . . .
