I can vibe to anything So I have to hide from everything Everybody wants a piece of me Rinse the origin and cease to be Sit back and let it happen Let us take your time away I don't understand you I don't want your time of day If you're gonna walk, might as well walk your way Always walk the hallways Forget the punk, I pack the funk I'm gonna take a piece of you Making money for good health But first I learn to see myself (x2) You promised me poems (x3)
[Verse 2: Terry Hall]
I rue the day that I ever met you And deeply regret you getting close to me I cannot wait to deeply neglect you Deeply forget you, Jesus believe me You promised me poems You might have been my reason for living I gave up on giving, gave up everything We were a right pair of believers A couple of dreamers So how come you hate me? You promised me poems (x3) Promised me poems
[Verse 3: Martina Topley-Bird]
Dreamed of ringing voices And contemplated choices Taste like a rare kiss To heighten my awareness With all fairness, greatness with gratitude And simply rhymes with attitude Now do promotion and TV, and you still can't see We're down the hill cascade And keep away the masquerade Dreamed of ringing voices And you promised me poems You promised me poems (x3)
