House Of Cards
by Brown Word and the Big Whine
What if I told you it's a house of cards
And one good wind was gonna take it all apart
Would you double down with a fortress of stone
Or scoop me up tight so I don't blow away alone
What if it's a house of cards
Deal me in or read my fate
What if it's a house of cards
Take me to your heart tonight
Dead man's hand at the lonely stroke of midnight
Poking at the ashes just to keep alive the firelight
Hoped to draw the Lovers maybe hit a stroke of luck
But I pulled the Queen of Swords and man I'm feeling stuck
Well I've gone all in and the hour is long
Come and split the deck and it's the same old song
The hands of time keep turning
And my time is bleeding fast
Think I'm on my last hurrah
And the proof is in the looking glass
So deal me in or read my fate
Or take me to your heart tonight
What if it's a house of cards
Deal me in or read my fate
What if it's a house of cards
Take me to your heart tonight
What if it's a house of cards
Deal me in or read my fate
What if it's a house of cards
Take me to your heart tonight
