A Thousand Kisses Deep Songtext
von Howe Gelb

I know you had to lie to me
I know you had to cheat
To pose all hot and high
Behind the veils of shear deceit
Our perfect porn aristocrat
So elegant and cheap
I′m old but I'm still into that
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 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

I loved you when you opened
Like a lilly to the heat
You see I'm just another snowman
Standing in the rain and sleet
Who loved you with his frozen love
His second hand physique
With all he is and all he was
A thousand kisses deep
