House Of Cards Lyrics - Singles - Flesh For Lulu

You drag this ball and chain 

Across the desert plain 

You build a house of cards 

Around a loveless heart 

Wild country in your head 

Gone dead, river bed 

In the dust you cry, cry, cry 

There's no water in the skies 

Bone dry, built on sand 

A house of cards that will never stand 

The doors crash open and the flood comes in 

And the flood takes everything 

So speak the language slow 

Beg some foreign money 

You're growing up on dog food 

In the land of milk and honey 

Shoot for the moon 

Live a life out of a window 

In your room, all alone 

You watch the sky, watch the storm 

Coming down 

On your house of cards 

Drink another drink 

And I spill my stories 

But when I wake up 

I forget my stories 

Magnificent in failure 

Resplendent in decay 

Tall tales of the land and the sea 

And the tides 

That tore away my house of cards 

It's so hot, so hot in here 

I can't sleep with you so near 

And the time goes by so slow 

And the night peels away like gasoline 

Shoot for the moon 

Live a life out of a window 

In your room, all alone 

You watch the sky 

Watch the storm 

Coming down, coming down 

On your house of cards
