Recitation Songtext / Lyric

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

You see I? m 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

I? m old but I? m still into that

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 good, you really do

They love you on the street

If you were here I? d kneel for you

A thousand kisses deep



The autumn moved across your skin

Got something in my 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

And witnessed here in time and blood

A thousand kisses deep



But I? m still working with the wine

Still dancing cheek to cheek

The band is playing Auld Lang Syne

But the heart will not retreat



I ran with Diz, I sang with Ray

I never had their sweet

But once or twice they let me play

A thousand kisses deep



I loved you when you opened

Like a lily to the heat

You see I? m 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



But you don? t need to hear me now

And every word I speak

It counts against me anyhow

A thousand kisses deep
