I thought that you knew it all
Well you’ve seen it ten times before
I thought that you had it down
with both your feet on the ground
I love slow…slow but deep
Feigned affection
wash over me
Dream on my dear
and renounce temporal obligation
Dream on my dear
it’s a sleep from which you may not awaken
You build me up
then you knock me down
you play the fool
while I play the clown
we keep time to the beat
of an old slave drum
you raise my hopes
then you raise the odds
You tell me that I dream too much
now I’m serving time
In dissolutionment
I don’t believe you anymore
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you anymore
I don’t believe you
I thought that I knew it all
I’d seen all the signs before
I thought that you were the one
In darkness my heart was won
You build me up
then you knock me down
you play the fool
while I play the clown
we keep time to the beat
of an old slave drum
you raise my hopes
then you raise the odds
You tell me that I dream too much
now I’m serving time
in a domestic graveyard
I don’t believe you anymore
I don’t believe you
Never let it be said
I was untrue
I never found a home
inside of you
Never let it be said
I was untrue
I gave you all my time
I gave you all my time
