House Of Cards

I hear tales, some playboy has kidnapped your heart

With his plane and his plans for games after dark

Just a pen in his pocket and the price of a room

Where the secondhand sheets smell of stale perfume

If there's sharks in the water, don't swim where it's deep

For the taste of success can be bitter and sweet

It could be alright that I act like a child

But you'll be the loser when the jokers run wild

You're just playin' the game but the stakes are too high

What will you do when the chips start to fly?

When the deck's stacked against you and the livin' gets hard

Oh, it's four walls of madness in this house of cards

Come on, you call me but I know there's time

In a handful of diamonds, oh a heart's hard to find

And your house of cards starts weighin' you down

All your nights become restless when the clubs start to pound

You're just playin' the game but the stakes are too high

What will you do when the chips start to fly?

When the deck's stacked against you and the livin' gets hard

Oh, it's four walls of madness in this house of cards

You're just playin' the game but the stakes are too high

What will you do when the chips start to fly?

When the deck's stacked against you and the livin' gets hard

Oh, it's four walls of madness in this house of cards
