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 picture is 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 a king and a time to be the 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 you're body move a little bit closer 

Silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone 

Don't you know that powerful thinking 

Can be a force you don't want to relinquish? 

Well don't you know that, 

They say that hanging on will justify the wait? 

But patience and elated wisdom don't share a 

common phrase 



Don't go making all these 

promises you know you cannot keep 

There's a time to play a 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 dont go making all these promises you know you cannot keep 

There's a time to play a king and a time to be a thief 

'Cause if your 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
