Music by Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin Released as a UK B-side in May, 1975
I hear tell some playboy has kidnapped your heart With his plane and his plans for games after dark Just a pain in his pocket, and the price of a room Where the second hand sheets smell of stale perfume
If there`s sharks in the water, don`t swim where it`s deep For the taste of success can be bitter and sweet It could be alright that I act like a child But you`ll be the loser when the jokers run wild You`re just playing the game, but the stakes are too high What will you do when the chips start to fly When the deck`s stacked against you, and the living gets hard Oh it`s four walls of madness in this house of cards Common you call me, but I know there`s time In a handful of diamonds, a heart`s hard to find And your house of cards starts weighing you down Your nights become restless when the clubs start to pound
