Verse 1

A cardboard head I see

Has found its way to me

It’s old and it’s old and it’s old

Making me cry

Verse 2

I sleep but I will not move

Too scared to leave my room

But I won’t be defeated, oh no

Pre-chorus

What if cards don’t go my way

And it’s sure to spoil my day

But in voices loud and clear

Chorus

What if cards don’t go my way

It’ll surely spoil my day

You say to me “it’s only superstition

It’s only your imagination

It’s all of the things that you fear

And the things from which you can’t explain”

Verse 3

Keep clean for the thousand time

Stand still and wait and line

Some numbers are badder than others, oh no

Pre-chorus

What if cards don’t go my way

And it’s sure to spoil my day

But in voices loud and clear

Chorus

Bridge

But it’s making me cry

And it’s making me cry

And I’m slipping away

And I’m slipping away
