Promises
Well don't you know I need aLittle indulgence?Listen to the hunter becomingHuntedEveryday there's a million advancesDon't be too forceful you'll ruinYour chancesWell don't you know that time is aBroken glassThat splinters against the wall?But the picture is coming backNow babyAnd I want to take it all
Don't go making all these promisesYou know you cannot keepThere's a time to play a king and aTime to be a thiefCause if you're making all thesePromises you know you cannot keepYou know time will be the thief andYour fallen king end up alone
So let your body move a little bit closerSilent like the sound proceeding a cycloneDon't you know that powerful thinkingCan be a force you don't wantTo relinquish?Well don't you know thatThey say hanging on will justify the wait?But patience and elated wisdomDon't share a common phrase
Don't go making all these promisesYou know you cannot keepThere's a time to play a king and aTime to be a thiefCause if you're making all thesePromises you know you cannot keepYou know time will be the thief andYour fallen king end up alone
Well I'm only hanging on for whatGoes downI'm floating high and my feet don'tTouch the groundI'd take advantage but I can't seeThrough this charadeSo don't you, don't go make it harderThat hellCause it comes down to the makingYou'd better be damned sure you canTake itHey baby
Don't go making all these promisesYou know you cannot keepThere's a time to play a king and aTime to be a thiefCause if you're making all thesePromises you know you cannot keepYou know time will be the thief andYour fallen king end up alone
Time will be the thiefAnd your fallen king will end up...A fool, a fool, a lonely sorry foolOh baby, 'cause I told you baby
