House of cards

Ruru
And this house is built of cards
And the earth is blowing too hard
Because dad won't stop drinking
And mom won't stop cheatin' herself,
And the family, and me

So I lie beneath it all
Watch the king and his queen
As they fall
They say that diamonds aren't forever
Well hearts aren't that clever
And the suits that we parade don't mean a thing

But it's never us to blame
A new prescription with a different name
But it tastes the same
So we'll role the dice and play,
Take our chances anyway

And if it's odds that we're banking on my love,
One in ten can't save us from
The sad statistic we've become
Seems they've already won

Now our home is growing cold
I look at you, you look at me
We turn and fold
Cause it seems that I can't stop drinking
And you can't stop cheating yourself,
And our family, and me

But it's never us to blame
A new prescription with a different name
But it tastes the same.
So we'll role the dice and play,
Take our chances anyway

And if it's odds that we're banking on my love,
One in ten can't save us from
The sad statistic we've become
