House of Cards Lyrics by Mike Shupp

October Sun

1997

(lyrics)
Ain't it funny how it's always the same
Thought you couldn't lose when you played this game
Then everything changed
And you could go on
But your world's all wrong
So you count to ten, then open your eyes
What you really want is to be surprised
But they're telling you lies
And you could go on
But your world's all wrong, your world's all wrong
And this house of cards you're living in
Is falling down on you
It's a one way street you're driving on
The signs are all around you
And this shooting star you're hanging on
Won't make your dreams come true
Now it feels like it's already done
Now you realize that you weren't the one
You're losing the sun
It doesn't seem real
It's not what you feel
So you live alone like you are possessed
Look at your life like it's some kind of test
Go on give it your best
Try and move on
But your world's all wrong, your dreams are gone
And this house of cards you're living in
Is falling down on you
It's a shadow world you're moving in
And they cannot touch you
Yes the walls are caving in again
Do you know what to do
Do you know what to do
And they're falling, they're falling, they're falling
Ain't it funny how it's always the same
Thought you couldn't lose when you played this game
