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
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
