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

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
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
