A Thousand Kisses Deep

The ponies ^Am run, the girls are ^E young, The odds are ^Am there to beat. You win a ^Am while, and then it's ^E done - Your little ^Am winning streak. And summoned ^C now to ^G deal With your ^Am invinci^Gble de^Ffeat, You live your ^Am life as if it's ^Em real, A ^Am Thousand ^G Kisses ^Am 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. 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 . . .
