House Of Cards Lyrics - Singles - Look What I Did

Open the deck 

Fingernails in the plastic, gently, gently, gently 

Careful not to damage the plastic makes perfect makes perfect 

Makes structures such perfect 

Piles and Piles of 

The architecture, arts and leisure, whores and beggers, beg for better 

A gust of wind can erase the foundation, the patience, the effort is wasted on making 

Piles and Piles of 

Kings, Queens, 2's, 3s, how fragile all these things 

It takes such flimsy parts to make a House of Cards 

Carefully balancing intricate curvature gently, gently, gently 

The six and the jack are now buckling under the pressure 

The King is such corpulent heavy 

Piles and Piles of 

The weight and measure, trash and treasure, pain and pleasure 

obtuse gets the pressure 

Form against function a swaying impression 

a contractor paid with his sweat for the measure of 

piles and piles of 

All this grand presentation 

Colors, fine decoration 

Built to please 

Piece by piece 

Makes no matter 

Shortly after 

A King and pauper, lead to slaughter, fertilize the ground 

your life is, too fragile, to balance on
