[00:00.00]	You came to me this morning
[00:03.41]	And you handled me like meat.
[00:07.30]	You′d have to be a man to know
[00:09.60]	How good that feels, how sweet.
[00:13.72]	My mirror twin, my next of kin,
[00:15.90]	I′d know you in my sleep.
[00:20.74]	And who but you would take me in
[00:23.93]	A thousand kisses deep?
[00:27.33]
[00:30.23]	I loved you when you opened
[00:32.81]	Like a lily to the heat.
[00:35.40]	You see, I′m just another snowman
[00:38.94]	Standing in the rain and sleet,
[00:42.71]	Who loved you with his frozen love
[00:46.18]	His second-hand physique,
[00:49.50]	With all he is, and all he was
[00:52.62]	A thousand kisses deep.
[00:54.45]
[00:56.93]	I know you had to lie to me
[01:00.41]	I know you had to cheat
[01:03.12]	To pose all hot and high
[01:06.27]	Behind The veils of sheer deceit
[01:10.67]	Our perfect porn aristocrat
[01:15.06]	So elegant and cheap
[01:18.31]	I’m old but I’m still into that
[01:21.74]	A thousand kisses deep.
[01:23.82]
[01:30.23]	I'm good at love, I'm good at hate,
[01:34.09]	It's in between I freeze.
[01:37.36]	Been working out, but it's too late,
[01:40.50]	It's been too late for years.
[01:45.36]	But you look good, you really do,
[01:49.15]	They love you on the street,
[01:52.51]	If you were here, I'd kneel for you
[01:56.50]	A thousand kisses deep.
[01:59.09]
[02:01.87]	The Autumn moved across your skin,
[02:06.03]	Got something in my eye,
[02:09.19]	A light that doesn't need to live,
[02:12.62]	And doesn't need to die.
[02:15.74]	A riddle in the book of love,
[02:18.34]	Obscure and obsolete
[02:21.40]	Till witnessed here in time and blood
[02:25.14]	A thousand kisses deep.
[02:27.36]
[02:29.85]	And I’m still working with the wine
[02:32.73]	Still dancing cheek to cheek
[02:36.35]	The band is playing Auld Lang Syne
[02:39.60]	But the heart will not retreat
[02:43.41]	I ran with Diz, I sang with Ray,
[02:47.62]	I never had their sweep
[02:51.25]	But once or twice they let me play
[02:54.85]	A thousand kisses deep.
[02:56.74]
[02:59.03]	I loved you when you opened
[03:00.93]	Like a lily to the heat.
[03:03.83]	You see, I′m just another snowman
[03:08.18]	Standing in the rain and sleet,
[03:11.77]	Who loved you with his frozen love
[03:15.80]	His second-hand physique,
[03:18.86]	With all he is, and all he was
[03:22.62]	A thousand kisses deep.
[03:25.14]
[03:26.62]	But you don’t need to hear me now,
[03:29.93]	And every word I speak,
[03:32.98]	It counts against me anyhow
[03:36.51]	A thousand kisses deep.
[03:38.79]
[03:40.17]
[03:43.45]
