Promises |
| Well don’t you know I need a little indulgence? |
| Well 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 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| Don’t go making promises |
| Don’t go making promises |
| 'Cause when it comes down to the making |
| You better be damned sure you can take it |
| Hey baby |
| Don’t go making promises |
| Don’t go making promises |
| Oh baby, don’t you know 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 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 |
| 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, alone, alone |
| Always be alone |
| Oh baby, that’s you know baby, yeah |
