lyrics

He deals the cards as a meditation
and those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins,
he don'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, the 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

But those who speak know nothing,
and find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places,
and those who fear a loss

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, the shape of my heart
That's not the shape, the shape of my heart
