lyrics

House of Cards

When the sun comes up, and you are sitting at the table
And the paper cup that you are holding to your chin
Begins to crumble from the weight of the heavy syrup
That you have been content to drown your coughing in

As the story ends, and you are waiting for the punchline
To a joke the hero told on the road to fame
Just remember you are standing on the breadline
And that the future of the world is cloaked in shame

You bow down, to the ground, you fall in, God calling

And as the sun goes down, you shuffle into the automobile
All set to carry you away to the sunset palace
A pot of gold sits at the curb on every corner
As you await another sip from the crystal chalice

Welcome to the House of Cards, won’t you stop and take a seat
House of mirrors’ broken shards, where we take our spirits neat
Come and see the pleasures that confusion oft will reap
Come into the House of Cards the stairs collapse as
Time elapses, all is lost to the Ace of Spades.

You bow down, to the ground, you fall in, God is calling
