Adrian Belew - House Of Cards

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! get out


Get out of this house of cards


Why are we sleeping?





Wake up! get out


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?





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
