And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
A mil besos de profundidad
Los ponis corren, las muchachas son jvenes,
las desigualdades estn all para golpear.
T ganas un instante, y entonces ya est hecho:
Tu pequea lnea ganada
y convocada ahora para negociar
con tu derrota invencible.
Vives tu vida como si fuera real,
a un millar de besos de profundidad.
Estoy revolviendo trucos, yo me arreglo,
regreso a la Calle Boogie.
Pierdes el control, y entonces te deslizas
dentro de la Obra Maestra.
Y quizs tenga que conducir muchas millas,
y promesas que mantener:
T abres zanjas por doquier para permanecer vivo,
a un millar de besos de profundidad.
Y a veces cuando la noche es lenta,
el infeliz y el humilde,
Recogemos nuestros corazones y vamos,
a un millar de besos de profundidad.
Limitados al sexo, nos apretamos contra los lmites del mar,
vi que no quedaba ms ocano
para los traperos como yo.
Lo hice en la cubierta delantera del barco
bendije los restos de nuestra flota
Y entonces consinti en ser hundido
a un millar de besos de profundidad.
Estoy revolviendo trucos, yo me arreglo,
regreso a la Calle Boogie.
Supongo que ellos no se intercambiarn los regalos
que t habas pensado guardar.
y tus pensamientos estn tranquilos
Tu fichero completado
excepto lo que nos hayamos olvidado de hacer,
a un millar de besos de profundidad.
Y a veces cuando la noche es lenta,
el infeliz y el humilde,
Recogemos nuestros corazones y vamos,
a un millar de besos de profundidad.
Los potros corren, las muchachas son jvenes,
las desigualdades estn all para golpear.
A Mil Besos de Profundidad
Los ponys corren, las muchachas son jvenes,
Las oportunidades estn ah para vencer.
Por un momento ganas, y despues se acaba
Tu pequea racha de victorias
Y llamado a lidiar
Con tu invencible derrota,
Vives tu vida como si fuera real
A mil besos de profundidad
Bromeo, me recompongo
De vuelta a Boogie Street,
pierdes el control, y resbalas
dentro de la obra maestra
Y quiza tena millas por recorrer
promesas que cumplir:
zanjaste todo para seguir con vida
A mil besos de profundidad
Y a veces, cuando la noche es suave
los miserables y los sumisos
recogemos nuestros corazones y nos vamos
A mil besos de profundidad
Confinados al sexo, presionamos
los limites del mar:
Y v que no quedaban ms ocanos
Para carroeros como yo.
llegu hasta la cubierta de la proa,
bendije lo que quedo de nuestra flota
y despus acept ser destruido
A mil besos de profundidad.
Bromeo, me recompongo
De vuelta a Boogie Street,
supongo que no intercambiarn los dones
Que t te propusiste conservar
Y es tranquilo el recuerdo de ti,
Tu archivo est completo.
Excepto aquello que olvidamos hacer
A mil besos de profundidad
Y a veces, cuando la noche es suave
los miserables y los sumisos
recogemos nuestros corazones y nos vamos
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.
Im turning tricks, Im getting fixed,
Im back on Boogie Street.
You loose 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.
Im turning tricks, Im getting fixed,
Im 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.
You came to me this morning
and you handled me like meat
youd have to be a man to know
how good that feels, how sweet
My mirrored twin, my next of kin
Id know you in my sleep
and who but you would take me in
a thousand kisses deep.
I loved you when you opened
like a lily to the heat,
you see im just another snowman
standing in the rain and sleet,
who loved you with his frozen love
his secondhand physique
with all he is,
and all he was,
a thousand kisses deep,
I know you had to lie to me
I know you had to cheat
to pose all hot and high behind
the veils of sheer deceit
our perfect porn aristocrat
so elegant and cheap
Im old but Im still into that
a thousand kisses deep
Im good at love
Im good at hate
its in-between I freeze
been working out but its too late
its been too late for years
but you look good,
you really do,
they love you on the street
If I could move
Id kneel for you
a thousand kisses deep.
Im still working with the wine
still dancing cheek to cheek
the band is playing Auld Lang Sine
but the heart will not retreat
I ran with Diz I sang with Ray
I never had their sweep
but once or twice they let me play
a thousand kisses deep.
Dont matter is the road is long,
dont matter if its steep,
dont matter if the moon goes out
and the darkness is complete,
dont matter if we lose our way
its written that well meet
at least thats what I heard you say
a thousand kisses deep.
I loved you when you opened
like a lily to the heat
you see im just another snowman
standing in the rain and sleet
who loved you with his frozen love
his secondhand physique
with all he is and all he was
a thousand kisses deep
well thats my story
I admit its broken and its bleak
but all the twisted pieces fit
a thousand kisses deep.
THOUSAND KISSES DEEP
for Sandy 1945-1998
1.
You came to me this morning
And you handled me like meat
You'd have to be a man to know
How good that feels how sweet
My mirror twin my next of kin
I'd know you in my sleep
And who but you would take me in
A thousand kisses deep
I loved you when you opened
Like a lily to the heat
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
I know you had to lie to me
I know you had to cheat
To pose all hot and high behind
The veils of sheer deceit
Our perfect porn aristocrat
So elegant and cheap
I'm old but I'm still into that
A thousand kisses deep
And I'm still working with the wine
Still dancing cheek to cheek
The band is playing Auld Lang Syne
The heart will not retreat
I ran with Diz and Dante
I never had their sweep
But once or twice they let me play
A thousand kisses deep
The autumn slipped across your skin
Got something in your eye
A light that doesn't need to live
And doesn't need to die
A riddle in the book of love
Obscure and obsolete
Till witnessed here in time and blood
A thousand kisses deep
I'm good at love I'm good at hate
It's in between I freeze
Been working out but it's too late
It's been too late for years
But you look fine you really do
The pride of Boogie Street
Somebody must have died for you
A thousand kisses deep
I loved you when you opened
Like a lily to the heat
I'm just another snowman
Standing in the rain and sleet
But you don't need to hear me now
And every word I speak
It counts against me anyhow
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
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 the 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 sometimes when the night is slow
The wretched and the meek
We gather up our hearts and go
A thousand kisses deep.
And fragrant is the thought of you
The file on you complete
Except what we forgot to do
A thousand kisses deep.
