Elton John - House Of Cards Lyrics
Music by elton johnLyrics by bernie taupinReleased as a uk b-side in may, 1975I hear tell some playboy has kidnapped your heartWith his plane and his plans for games after darkJust a pain in his pocket, and the price of a roomWhere the second hand sheets smell of stale perfumeIf theres sharks in the water, dont swim where its deepFor the taste of success can be bitter and sweetIt could be alright that I act like a childBut youll be the loser when the jokers run wildYoure just playing the game, but the stakes are too highWhat will you do when the chips start to flyWhen the decks stacked against you, and the living gets hardOh its four walls of madness in this house of cardsCommon you call me, but I know theres timeIn a handful of diamonds, a hearts hard to findAnd your house of cards starts weighing you downYour nights become restless when the clubs start to pound
