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 geometery 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 He may play the jack of diamonds He may lay the queen of spades He may conseal a king in his hand While the memory of it fades I know that the spades are swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that the diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart But 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 But Those who speak know nothing And find out to their cost Like those who curse their luck in too many places Are those who fear a lost I know that the spades are swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that the diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart But that's not the shape Thats not the shape,shape of my heart
