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

chorus
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 your 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

chorus

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

chorus

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
