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 forcefull you'll ruin your chances

well don't you know 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 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 a thief

cause if you 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 what comes down to the making

you 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 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 a thief and your fallen king will end up ...

a fool,a fool , a lonely sorry fool

oh ,baby ,'cause I told you baby ...
