A Thousand Kisses Deep by Leonard Cohen

The ponies run, the girls are young
The odds are there to beat
You win a while, and (1)________ it's done
Your little (2)______________ 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 (3)____________ Street
You lose (4)________ 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 (5)________________ 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 (6)________ 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 (7)______________ 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 (8)________ we forgot to do
A thousand (9)____________ 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 (10)________ invincible defeat
You live your life as if it's real
A thousand kisses deep
