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
may not awaken
you build me up then you
knock me down
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 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
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
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.
