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

You wait for the tears to fall but they won't You think you should know what to say but you don't Here at the break of day The world moving on it's way Without her You're sitting there staring at the distance Like you're putting up some kind of resistance But you barely see the dawn It's like this river that you're on Here where the sorrows flow And all you will never know about her Here You're here The city waiking up off in the distance They're all working on some other existence But you don'y quite seem to care It's like you know they're not going anywhere Here where the sorrows flow Here where the questions grow And all you will never know about her You wait for the tears to fall but they won't You think you should know what to say but you don't Here at the break of dawn The world moving on Without her

Down on the boulevard, they take it hard They look at life with such disregard They say it can't be won The way the game is run But if you choose to stay You wind up playing anyway It's okay And though the kids in shock up and down the block The folks are home playing beat the clock Down at the Golden Cup They set the young ones up Under the neon light Selling day for night It's alright Nobody rides for free (nobody, nobody) Nobody gets it like they want it to be (nobody, nobody) Nobody hands you any guarantee (nobody, nobody) Nobody No, nobody, baby The hearts are hard and the times are tough Down on the boulevard, the night's enough And time passes slow (and time passes slow) Between the store front shadows (between the store front shadows) And the streetlights glow Everybody walks right by Like they're safe or something They don't know Nobody knows you (nobody, nobody) Nobody owes you nothin' (nobody, nobody) Nobody shows you what they're thinking (nobody, nobody) Nobody, baby Hey, hey, baby Got to watch the street and keep your feet And be on guard Make it pay, baby It's only time on the boulevard It's like this And it is the way it is (on the boulevard) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby (on the boulevard) It's only time on the boulevard

There will be no consolation prize This time the bone is broken clean No baptism, no reprise And no sweet taste of victory All the stars have fallen from the sky And everything else in between Satellites have closed their eyes The moon has gone to sleep Unloved, unloved Unloved, unloved Here I am inside a hotel Choking on a million words I said Cigarettes have burned a hole And dreams are drunk and penniless Here I am inside my father's arms All jagged-bone and whiskey-dry Whisper to me sweetly now And tell me I will never die Unloved, unloved Unloved, unloved Here I am an empty hallway Broken window, rainy night I am nineteen sixty-two And I am ready for a fight People crying hallelujah While the bullet leaves the gun People falling, falling, falling And I don't know where they're falling from Are they Unloved, unloved Unloved, unloved Hoping that the kindness Will lead us past the blindness And not another living soul Will ever have to feel Unloved, unloved Unloved, unloved Unloved, unloved
