[length: 06:29]
[00:11.81]The ponies run, the girls are young
[00:18.08]The odds are there to beat
[00:21.07]
[00:24.16]You win a while, and then it’s done
[00:30.61]Your little winning streak
[00:33.63]
[00:36.94]And summoned now to deal
[00:43.31]With your invincible defeat
[00:49.48]You live your life as if it’s real
[00:55.10]
[00:57.49]A thousand kisses deep
[00:59.49]
[01:02.19]I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed
[01:04.47]
[01:08.60]I’m back on boogie street
[01:11.74]
[01:14.32]You lose your grip, and then you slip
[01:20.53]Into the masterpiece
[01:23.83]
[01:27.18]And maybe I had miles to drive
[01:34.76]And promises to keep
[01:39.35]You ditch it all to stay alive
[01:44.18]
[01:47.10]A thousand kisses deep
[01:50.94]
[02:16.89]And sometimes when the night is slow
[02:24.42]The wretched and the meek
[02:29.39]We gather up our hearts and go
[02:34.33]
[02:37.05]A thousand kisses deep
[02:42.03]Confined to sex, we pressed against
[02:47.81]The limits of the sea
[02:51.59]
[02:54.23]I saw there were no oceans left
[03:02.10]For scavengers like me
[03:07.07]I made it to the forward deck
[03:14.76]I blessed our remnant fleet
[03:19.25]And then consented to be wrecked
[03:24.74]
[03:26.92]A thousand kisses deep
[03:31.96]I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed
[03:38.00]I’m back on boogie street
[03:41.32]
[03:44.48]I guess they won’t exchange the gifts
[03:51.06]That you were meant to keep
[03:55.88]And quiet is the thought of you
[04:04.54]The file on you complete
[04:09.58]Except what we forgot to do
[04:16.82]A thousand kisses deep
[04:21.15]
[04:46.66]And sometimes when the night is slow
[04:54.37]The wretched and the meek
[04:59.21]We gather up our hearts and go
[05:06.75]A thousand kisses deep
[05:11.75]The ponies run, the girls are young
[05:17.74]The odds are there to beat
[05:21.85]
[05:24.19]You win a while, and then it’s done
[05:30.55]Your little winning streak
[05:34.28]
[05:36.50]And summoned now to deal
[05:42.83]With your invincible defeat
[05:49.14]You live your life as if it’s real
[05:54.61]
[05:56.79]A thousand kisses deep
