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
he deals the cards to find the answer, the sacred geometry of chance
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
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
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 a loss
I know that diamonds mean money for this art but that's not the shape of my heart

Very cool song with very awesome lyrics, even if a bit pained. And leave it to Sting to pull it off--awesome music. I'm going to have to admit that I've not seen the movie but might have to now.
I used to listen to this album daily for quite a while. Love this song.
