Promises Lyrics

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 d***ed 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
