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
 Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
 There's a time to play the 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 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 the 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 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 when it comes down to the making
 You better be damned sure you can take it
 Hey baby
