Savage Garden - Promises
from the album "Savage Garden"
Well don't you know I need a little indulgence
Listen to the hunter becomeing 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 promies you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king and a time to be a theif
'Cause if you're making all these promise you know you cannot keep
You know time will end up the theif 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 reliquish
Well don't you know that
They say that hanging on will justify the wait
But patience and elated wisdome 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 theif
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the theif 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 odn'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
You better be damned sure you can take it
Hey baby
Well 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 theif
'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
Time will be the theif and your fallen king will end up
A fool, a fool, a lonely sorry fool
Oh baby, 'cause I told you baby
