[Verse 1] 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
[Verse 2] 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
[Chorus] 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
The shape of my heart
[Verse 3] 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
[Verse 4] 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
[Chorus] 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
The shape of my heart
[Outro] 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
