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 to 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 time to be a thief 'Cause if you're makin' 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 you 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 a king and time to be a thief 'Cause if you're makin' 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 the 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 Well don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep There's a time to play a king and time to be a thief 'Cause if you're makin' 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 thief and your fallen king will end up... A fool, a fool, a lonely sorry fool Oh baby, 'cause I told you baby ©1997 EMI Blackwood Music Inc./EMI Music Publishing Australia Pty. Ltd.
