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 the respect
  He deals the cards to find the answer
  The sacred geometry of chance
  The hidden law of 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
  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
