House Of Cards — текст песни (Elton John)

I hear tell some playboy has kidnapped your heart
With his plane and his plans for games after dark
Just a pain in his pocket, and the price of a room
Where the second hand 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 playing 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 living gets hard
Oh it`s four walls of madness in this house of cards

Common you call me, but I know there`s time
In a handful of diamonds, a heart`s hard to find
And your house of cards starts weighing you down
Your nights become restless when the clubs start to pound
