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 [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 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 [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 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 Well, 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 are lost
