KID CONGO AND THE PINK MONKEY BIRDS
HOUSE OF CARDS (Powers, Martin, O'Brien)

WELL FOUR LONG YEARS AND FOUR HUNDRED TESTS
YOU KNOW I LOVED YOU DESPITE THE MESS
MR. MAN YOU WERE MY MYSTERY
MY SUNRISE, YOUR SUNSETS

SO IF THE RIVER MUST RUN DRY
WE’LL BURY OURSELVES IN A SWIRLING SKY
PLEASE BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY
OUR HOUSE OF CARDS WERE BUILT TO STAY

MY FRIEND, MY FRIEND, MY DEAR FRIEND
THOSE BLUE GREEN FLAMES THEY SURROUND ALL OUR GAMES
THE CRIMES IN THE CITY ARE DRAWN WITH A POISON PEN
I SUSTAIN YOU SIX TIMES TEN

AND IF THE RIVERS ALL RUN DRY
WE’LL BURY OURSELVES IN A SWIRLING SKY
PLEASE BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY
OUR HOUSE OF CARDS WAS BUILT TO STAY

WELL FOUR LONG YEARS AND FOUR HUNDRED TESTS
YOU KNOW I LOVED YOU DESPITE THE MESS
MR. MAN YOU WERE MY MYSTERY
MY SUNRISE, YOUR SUNSETS

SO IF THE RIVER MUST RUN DRY
WE’LL BURY OURSELVES IN A SWIRLING SKY
PLEASE BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY
OUR HOUSE OF CARDS WERE BUILT TO STAY
