(no subject)

[plural]

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

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 random fleet
and consent to be read

a thousand kisses deep

I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed
I'm 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

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
