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
