Текст песни: House of Cards + перевод

You drag this ball and chain

Across the desert plain

You build a house of cards

Around a loveless heart

Wild country in your head

Gone dead, river bed

In the dust you cry, cry, cry

There’s no water in the skies

Bone dry, built on sand

A house of cards that will never stand

The doors crash open and the flood comes in

And the flood takes everything

So speak the language slow

Beg some foreign money

You’re growing up on dog food

In the land of milk and honey

Shoot for the moon

Live a life out of a window

In your room, all alone

You watch the sky, watch the storm

Coming down

On your house of cards

Drink another drink

And I spill my stories

But when I wake up

I forget my stories

Magnificent in failure

Resplendent in decay

Tall tales of the land and the sea

And the tides

That tore away my house of cards

It’s so hot, so hot in here

I can’t sleep with you so near

And the time goes by so slow

And the night peels away like gasoline

Shoot for the moon

Live a life out of a window

In your room, all alone

You watch the sky

Watch the storm

Coming down, coming down

On your house of cards
