A Thousand Kisses Deep - Leonard Cohen

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
