And this house is built of cards
And the earth is blowin' too hard
because Dad won't stop drinkin
and Mom won't stop cheatin
herself, and the family and me
And so I lie beneath it all
Watch the king and his queen as they fall
They say that diamonds are forever
And hearts aren't that clever
And the suits that we parade don't mean a thing
And it's never us to blame
A new prescription with a different name
but it tastes the same
So we'll roll the dice and play
and take our chances anyway
And if it's ours, then we're
Banking on the love
One in ten can't save us from
The sad statistic we've become
Seems like they've already won
And now our home is growin cold
I look at you, you look at me, we turn and fold
It seems that I can't stop drinking
and you can't stop cheatin
Yourself, and our family and me
And it's never us to blame
A new prescription with a different name
but it tastes the same
So we roll the dice and play
and take our chances anyway
And if it's ours, then we're
Banking on the love
One in ten can't save us from
The sad statistic we've become
