House of Cards Songtext
von James Reyne

When you move your stuff away from me
When you caught the last train home
When you move your stuff to where you want to be
When you took that ride, I′m torn and trembling way inside

House of cards, and a house of sticks
Where you gonna put 'em, all your Chinese tricks?
Gonna lay a foundation solid on the ground
Said a house of bricks, and a house of stone
Where you gonna get ′em when you're all alone?
I'm a big bad wolf, going to blow your big house down

When you took your stuff and moved away
When you caught that train, I′m your conductor once again

House of cards, and a house of sticks
Where you gonna put ′em, all your left-field tricks?
Gonna lay a foundation solid on the ground
Said a house of bricks, and a house of stone
Where you gonna get 'em when you′re all alone?
I'm a big bad wolf, going to blow your big house down


I′ll lay even money where you're gonna be
I′ll lay even money down
I'll lay even money
What will I see?
I'll lay even money down

House of cards, and a house of sticks
Where you gonna put ′em, all your Chinese tricks?
Gonna lay a foundation solid on the ground
Said a house of bricks, and a house of stone
Where you gonna get ′em when you're all alone?
I′m a big bad wolf, going to blow your big house down

I said, a house of cards, and a house of sticks
Where you gonna put 'em, all your left-field tricks?
Gonna lay a foundation solid on the ground
Said a house of bricks, and a house of stone
Where you gonna get ′em when you're all alone?
I′m a big bad wolf, going to blow your big house down

I said, a house of cards, and a house of sticks
Where you gonna put 'em, all your Chinese tricks?
Gonna lay a foundation solid on the ground
I said, a house of cards
