He deals the cards
as a meditation
And those he plays
never suspect
He doesn't play
for the money he wins
He doesn't play
for respect
He deals the cards
to find the answer
The sacred geometry
of chance
The hidden law
of a probable outcome
The numbers
lead a dance
I know that
the spades
Are the swords
of a soldier
I know that the clubs
are weapons of war
I know that
diamonds
Mean money
for this art
But that's not
the shape of my heart
He may play
the jack of diamonds
He may lay
the queen of spades
He may conceal
a king in his hand
While the memory
of it fades
I know that
the spades
Are the swords
of a soldier
I know that the clubs
are weapons of war
I know that
diamonds
Mean money
for this art
But that's not
the shape of my heart
That's not the shape
shape of my heart~

And if I told you
that I loved you
You'd maybe think
there's
Something wrong
I'm not a man
Of too many faces
the mask I wear is one
For those who speak
know nothing
And find out
to their cost
Like those
who curse
Their luck
in too many places
And those
who smile are lost
I know that
the spades
Are the swords
of a soldier
I know that the clubs
are weapons of war
I know that
diamonds
Mean money
for this art
But that's not
the shape of my heart
That's not
the shape of my heart
That's not the shape
shape of my heart~
