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 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 to take it all
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot 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 you know that powerful thinking Can be a force you don't want 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 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 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 damned sure you can take it Hey
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep 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 baby, 'cause I told you baby
