Lyrics
0:00Well don't you know I need a little indulgence
0:05Listen to the hunter becoming hunted
0:10Every day there's a million advances
0:15Don't be too forceful' you'll ruin your chances
0:20Well don't you know that time is a broken glass
0:23That splinters against the wall
0:26But the picture is coming back now baby'
0:28And I want to take it all
0:31Don't go making all these promises
0:33You know you cannot keep
0:35There's a time to play a king
0:38And a time to be the thief
0:41'Cause if you're making all these promises
0:44You know you cannot keep
0:46You know time will be the thief
0:48And your fallen king will end up alone
0:55So let you're body move a little bit closer
0:59Silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone
1:05Don't you know that powerful thinking
1:10Can be a force you don't want to relinquish
1:15Well don't you know that'
1:16They say that hanging on will justify the wait
1:20But patience and elated wisdom
1:24Don't share a common phrase
1:26Don't go making all these promises
1:28You know you cannot keep
1:30There's a time to play a king
1:33And a time to be the thief
1:35'Cause if you're making all these promises
1:37You know you cannot keep
1:41You know time will be the thief
1:43And your fallen king will end up alone
1:51Well' I'm only hanging on for what goes down
1:56I'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground
2:01I'd take advantage but I can't see through this charade
2:06So don't you' don't go make it harder than hell
2:11(Don't go making promises)
2:13(Don't go making promises)
2:16'Cause when it comes down to the making
2:18You better be damned sure you can take it
2:20Hey baby
2:21(Don't go making promises)
2:23(Don't go making promises)
2:26(oh baby'don't you know baby)
2:35Well don't go making all these promises
2:38You know you cannot keep
2:41There's a time to play a king
2:43And a time to be a thief
2:45'Cause if your making all these promises
2:47You know you cannot keep
2:50You know time will be the thief
2:53And your fallen king will end up alone
2:57Well don't go making all these promises
2:59You know you cannot keep
3:00There's a time to play a king
3:03And a time to be a thief
3:05'Cause if your making all these promises
3:08You know you cannot keep
3:11You know time will be the thief
3:13And your fallen king will end up
3:16A fool' a fool' a lonely sorry fool
3:19Oh baby' 'cause I told you baby
3:24END
