Promises

                                  Well don't you know I need a 

Little indulgence? 

Listen to the hunter becoming 

Hunted 

Everyday 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 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 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 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 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 

That hell 

Cause it comes down to the making 

You'd better be damned sure you can 

Take it 

Hey baby 



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 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
