House Of Cards Lyrics - Elton John

I hear tales, some playboy has kidnapped your heart 

With his plane and his plans for games after dark 

Just a pen in his pocket and the price of a room 

Where the secondhand sheets smell of stale perfume 

If there's sharks in the water, don't swim where it's deep 

For the taste of success can be bitter and sweet 

It could be alright that I act like a child 

But you'll be the loser when the jokers run wild 

You're just playin' the game but the stakes are too high 

What will you do when the chips start to fly? 

When the deck's stacked against you and the livin' gets hard 

Oh, it's four walls of madness in this house of cards

Come on, you call me but I know there's time 

In a handful of diamonds, oh a heart's hard to find 

And your house of cards starts weighin' you down 

All your nights become restless when the clubs start to pound 

You're just playin' the game but the stakes are too high 

What will you do when the chips start to fly? 

When the deck's stacked against you and the livin' gets hard 

Oh, it's four walls of madness in this house of cards 

You're just playin' the game but the stakes are too high 

What will you do when the chips start to fly? 

When the deck's stacked against you and the livin' gets hard 

Oh, it's four walls of madness in this house of cards
