House Of Cards Lyrics - Adrian Belew

People like us have our eyes on the stars 

And we keep informed via TV guide 

And we entertain in a house of cards 

But the trouble remains in our sleeping hearts 

Wake up! Wake up! 

(Wake up!) 

(Get out, out of this house of cards) 

Get out, out of this house of cards, yeah 

Why are we sleeping? 

Wake up! Wake up! 

(Wake up) 

(Get out, out of this house of cards) 

Get, get out of this house of cards 

Why are we dreaming? 

Why are we blinded 

Always the little guys? 

Why do we find ourselves 

Always compromised? 

Wake up! Wake up! 

(Wake up!) 

(Get out, out of this house of cards, yeah, yeah) 

Get out, this is a house of cards 

Why are we sleeping? 

People like us 

Have lives made of dust 

And we know too little 

But we know too much 

And our puzzled lives have 

Come all apart 

So we go back to bed 

With our sleeping hearts 

And we stay asleep 

In a house of cards 

(In a house of cards) 

And we stay asleep 

(In a house of cards) 

In a house of cards 

(In a house of cards)
