A Thousand Kisses Deep by Leonard Cohen

The ponies run, the girls are young
The odds are there to beat

Your little winning streak
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat
You live your life as if it's real

I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed

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 (9)________________ now to deal
With your invincible defeat
You live your life as if it's real
A thousand kisses deep
