I thought you knew it all,
Well you’d 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,
You 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,
You 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
