    • LETRA

    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.

    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 her 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
    and those who fear 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.

    That’s not the shape, the shape of my heart.
