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 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 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 
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 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 you 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 can't 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 baby 

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 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 
Oh baby, 'cause I told you baby
