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 affections wash over me. Dream on my dear And renounce temporal obligations. 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 disillusionment.
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.
