lyrics
I've been standing here admiring your castle of cards
As the one-eyed jack prepares for you to let down your guard
When your castle starts a-crumblin'
I'll be there to keep your tower from tumblin'
'Cause I've been right here guarding your castle of cards
Well it's seven stories high, you know it had to be tall
'Cause if you won't build right, you shouldn't build it at all
And I when I look in your castle fair
I can see a million hearts and diamonds there
So I'll stay right there guarding your castle of cards
I thought I might come downstairs and play some solitaire
But you worked so hard for your structure that I wouldn't dare
So what if that tower should fall and break?
We'll fall in love and play a game of crazy eights
Well you know there's more than 52 fish swimming in the sea
How I wish that you could turn away and play some Go Fish with me
'Cause those cards will bend and break in time
When the laminate melts could you be mine?
'Cause I've been right here guarding your castle of cards.
As the one-eyed jack prepares for you to let down your guard
When your castle starts a-crumblin'
I'll be there to keep your tower from tumblin'
'Cause I've been right here guarding your castle of cards
Well it's seven stories high, you know it had to be tall
'Cause if you won't build right, you shouldn't build it at all
And I when I look in your castle fair
I can see a million hearts and diamonds there
So I'll stay right there guarding your castle of cards
I thought I might come downstairs and play some solitaire
But you worked so hard for your structure that I wouldn't dare
So what if that tower should fall and break?
We'll fall in love and play a game of crazy eights
Well you know there's more than 52 fish swimming in the sea
How I wish that you could turn away and play some Go Fish with me
'Cause those cards will bend and break in time
When the laminate melts could you be mine?
'Cause I've been right here guarding your castle of cards.

about
Paul Tabachneck New York
I started doing music in Pittsburgh, fronting the folk-rock band Stone Soup, the dark-pop band Dead Pressed Flowers, and the Power Pop band Manpig aka Everybody Wins. After that, I moved to New York, mostly playing solo and busking a lot. Now I live in CT and play in my home office because everything is bad and no one can go out. See me Wednesdays at 7:30 at facebook.com/paultab! ... more
