House of Cards Down, down, down, down You know how it feels
You smoke the best cigars And drive the fastest cars You always get your way Beluga caviar You thank your lucky stars You live in San Tropez
You don't make idle threats Collecting on all your debts You only play to win You've got the Gucci shoes But make too many moves Look at the shape you're in Like a house of cards in a hurricane, you go
[Chorus:] Down, down, down, down 'Till you bottom out Now you know how it feels When you hit the ground You go, down, down, down, down 'Till you bottom out Now you know how it feels Your house of cards is falling down
You're down with heads of state Eat off a silver plate But only if it shines You've got them running scared You strip the market bare Then watch it take a dive You left the girl at home You bought the silicone Then took her on parade But now your life's a mess It took the IRS To blow it all away Like a house of cards in a hurricane, you went
