House of Cards

Can I have your attention? A moment of your time? Did you see me coming? Did I catch your eye? And after I have left you Will I be on your mind? First impressions are essential Second chances rarely come As I stand out in the spotlight I turn to face the room And say although you weren't expecting me I hope you'll wonder where I've been Well, there's one chance to impress At the circus of the strange Convincing them you're different When inside we're all the same And dealing like it's business When the truth is it's really all a game We'll build it up We'll build it to the stars But will it stay? My house of cards 'Cause just one slip And it will fall My house of cards To nothing at all Well, will I go the distance? Will I make the grade? With people out to judge me Will I shine or will I fade? When the idols of tomorrow Were chosen yesterday Well, there's one chance to impress At the circus of the strange Convincing them you're different When inside we're all the same And dealing like it's business When the truth is it's really all a game We'll build it up We'll build it to the stars But will it stay? My house of cards Because just one slip And it will fall My house of cards To nothing at all We'll build it up (we'll build it up) We'll build it to the stars But will it stay? My house of cards Because just one slip (just one slip) And it will fall My house of cards To nothing at all
