lyrics

In our house of cards Joker is the king
The queen no more worthy than the deuce
An uninvited interloper coughed up
Something Deadly
The king hangs by a noose

The Joker wields clubs
With greed in spades, my love
All sweat is diamonds
For the currency obscene
You and I are wearing gloves
To keep our noses clean

All we have is all we hold
As above us so below
You and I, love, no house of cards
In our own suite of hearts
As the deck falls apart
Take us right back to the start

It’s a magician’s trick
Misdirect with sleight of hand
To help you believe
Requires a shifty charlatan
What’s real is fake
What’s fake is real
What the moment’s need commands

In that house of cards
No card had a clue
The Joker he had stacked the deck
Only the dealer knew
Now living in a mansion on a hill
Shining and brand new
All we have is all we hold
As above us so below
You and I, love, no house of cards
In our own suite of hearts
As the deck falls apart
Take us right back to the start
