[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 laws of a probable outcome
While 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
[Verse 3]
He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While a 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, shape of my heart
[Verse 4]
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
This mask I wear is one
[Verse 5]
But those who speak know nothin'
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost
[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 of my heart
That's not the shape, the shape of my heart
[Outro]
The shape of my heart
