Oh, I guess I knew it would happen eventually But I was not prepared for the word No, I was not prepared for the word No, they didn't give me no warning 'fore they told me the news And I could not believe what I heard No, I could not believe what I heard Hey, well, it started to hit me later on in the night I reacted by blowing my stack I reacted by blowing my stack Oh, feeling cheated and taunted and mad at the whole world at large As I pissed on a black Cadillac As I pissed on a black Cadillac House of cards (and) don't it make ya wonder? House of cards, (oh), don't it make ya wonder? Oh, thousands of people gathered outside of his gate Some came to sell souvenirs Some came to sell souvenirs Yes, souvenirs of the hillbilly singer who conquered the world Now dead after forty-two years Dead after forty-two years House of cards (and) don't it make ya wonder? House of cards, (oh), don't it make ya wonder? Yes, and then came the stories all pushin' their way through the press Stories of madness and pain Stories of madness and pain Oh, they'll do what they can to ravage, exploit, and destroy His glory, his fame, and his name His glory, his fame, and his name House of cards (and) don't it make ya wonder? House of cards, (oh), don't it make ya wonder? Oh, the King undisputed, reclusive and high on a throne The symbol and saint; he was youth Oh, the symbol and saint; he was youth Yes, and now that he's dead, and he's laid in his great, marble tomb We're all left with a whole lotta truth We're all left with a whole lotta truth Oh, I guess a lotta sad people grew up on that hot, summer day One more big dream swept away One more big dream swept away Yes, he's gone, and he's free, but, still, all of his music remains I don't know what more I can say And I don't know what more I can say except... House of cards (and) don't it make ya wonder? House of cards, (oh), don't it make ya wonder? House of cards (and) don't it make ya wonder? House of cards, (oh), don't it make ya wonder? House of cards (and) don't it make ya wonder? House of cards, (oh), don't it make ya wonder?
