Promises
Well don't you know I need a little indulgence?
Listen to the Hunter becoming hunted
Every day there's a million advances
Don't be too forceful you'll ruin your chances
Well don't you know that time is a broken glass that splinters against the wall?
But the pictures coming back now baby, and I want to take it all
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play the king and a time to be a thief
Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone
So let your body move a little bit closer
Silent like the sound preceding a cyclone
Don't you know that powerful thinking can be a force you don't want to
relinquish?
Don't you know that, they say hanging on will justify the wait?
But patience and elated wisdom don't share a common phrase
Don' go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time you play the king and a time to be a thief
Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone
Well I'm only hanging on for what goes down
I'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground
I'd take advantage but I can't see through this charade
So don't you, don't go make it harder than hell
Cause when it comes down to the making, you better be damned sure you can take
it
Hey baby
Well don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play the king and a time to be a thief
Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone
Time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up...
A fool, A fool, a lonely sorry fool
Oh baby, cause I told you baby
