A Thousand Kisses Deep lyrics
Song information
Artist: Leonard Cohen Album: Ten New Songs
Lyrics
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 . .
