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 s*x 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 --- A Thousand Kisses Deep - Leonard Cohen and Sharon Robinson
