This life you're living is a House of Cards;
First level of the game:
You're right on it, down to Earth.

Next step up is pure electric;
Energy warriors, spectres and ghosts.
Travel the domain of demons and wizards;
Find your way out through the middle door.

Go on higher, find the pure light,
Or take a detour around some planet.
Angel wings can take you home,
Or show you how to fly away.

The game you're playing is one of trickery,
It's all done by mirrors and wires,
Speed your footsteps through the maze of time;
Vanish in your own reflection.

Multiple lives in this House of Cards,
Many, many rounds and there are no rules.
Wheel of Fortune spins the Joker,
All alone in crowded rooms.
