Promises

Won't you find somebody to lean on?

Won't you find me somebody body who cares?

One more night in the garden of evening

Wouldn't hurt

Blew the roof off the burned-out basement

The alarm bell beginning to ring

Won't you buy me another illusion, or the pill, or the pill?

'Cause I'm on fire

I promise you this

That I'll be the writing on your wall

If I was a lion

You couldn't catch me if I fall

I promise you this

That I'll be the writing on your wall

If I was a lion

You couldn't catch me if I fall

Now they're making love on the station

Dressed in velvet and stronger than most

I'll never tire of listening to Elvis and the ghosts

I'm alive and well, can you hear me?

I've been burned by escape and desire

See, I'm reeling with your intentions

In mire, in mire, just I want fire

I promise you this

That I'll be the writing on your wall

If I was a lion

You couldn't catch me if I fall

I promise you this

That I'll be the writing on your wall

If I was a lion (if I was a lion)

You couldn't catch me if I fall

I promise you this

That I'll be the writing on your wall

If I was a lion (lion)

You couldn't catch me if I fall
