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
