Lyrics:

The Ponies Run, The Girls Are Young,

the Odds Are There To Beat.

you Win A While, And Then It's Done C

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 C

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 . . .
