The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it’s done

You live your life as if it’s real,
A thou­sand kisses deep.

We’ll rely on whom they choose as part­ners to give us news and music. Real issues are at stake, in other words—not just the size of pho­tos and whether you can poke.
