House Of Cards

Adrian Belew · Coming Attractions [2000]

People like us have our eyes on the stars

And we keep informed via TV guide

And we entertain in a house of cards

But the trouble remains in our sleeping hearts



Wake up! Wake up!

(Wake up!)

(Get out, out of this house of cards)

Get out, out of this house of cards, yeah

Why are we sleeping?



Wake up! Wake up!

(Wake up)

(Get out, out of this house of cards)

Get, get out of this house of cards

Why are we dreaming?



Why are we blinded

Always the little guys?

Why do we find ourselves

Always compromised?



Wake up! Wake up!

(Wake up!)

(Get out, out of this house of cards, yeah, yeah)

Get out, this is a house of cards

Why are we sleeping?



People like us

Have lives made of dust

And we know too little

But we know too much



And our puzzled lives have

Come all apart

So we go back to bed

With our sleeping hearts



And we stay asleep

In a house of cards

(In a house of cards)

And we stay asleep

(In a house of cards)

In a house of cards

(In a house of cards)
