Cohen Leonard A Thousand Kisses Deep Lyrics

A Thousand Kisses Deep Lyrics

The ponies run, the girls are young,

 The odds are there to beat.

 You win a while, and then its done 

 Your little winning streak.

 And summoned now to deal

 With your invincible defeat,

 You live your life as if its real,

 A Thousand Kisses Deep.

 

 Im turning tricks, Im getting fixed,

 Im 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.

 

 Im turning tricks, Im getting fixed,

 Im back on Boogie Street.

 I guess they wont 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 . . .
