Send "Promises" Ringtone to Cell

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 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 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 relinquish? 
Well don't you know that 
They say that hanging on will justify the wait? 
But patience and evaded wisdom don't share a common fate 

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 will end up alone 

Well, I'm only hanging on for what goes down, baby 
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 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 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 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
