Lyrics
Promise me my soul to keep And promise me you'll never sleep And promise me that when it's over We will drink the whole world sober
Promise me that lines get drawn Point no point to wish me well Promise me there's no denying And you will stop to wish me well
Oh promise me
Promise me it'll all get done And a lion's share of good will last Promise me you'll turn away first And promise me you won't turn back
For all the years we kept on trying It wasn't 'cause we were scared to quit Promise me there'll be no pity And promise me there'll be safer bets
Oh promise me You won't make these promises
With calloused hands we forged this hammer Broke these rocks into equal parts Sent the sparks, flyin' off the handle Asked for nothing, but delivered much
Never were the main event Always played the sideshow tent The drunken cowards came to look us over Can you promise we did not belong there?
Oh promise me You won't make these promises
Promise me the best you know And promise me you'll break down slow And when you find the nerve to quit Pass it 'round and we'll share in it
There is somethin' cruel about this But I know hopeful it's not far behind What was unknown just hours ago Is now the killer with the angel's eye
Oh promise me. x2
