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 respect He deals the crads to find the answer The sacred geometry of chance The hidden loaw of a probable outcome The numbers lead a dance
I know that the spades are 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 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
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 fear are lost
I know that the spades are 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 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 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 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
Too tragic to stay with you Too static to try for you These scars They swallow hard The part of the past That′s hollow and dark Too horrid to kill for you Too sordid to die with you Unstable as always Cme down Everything else is just Dust and sound Separate (I′ve lost my only way) Separat (I′ve lost my only way) Separate (I′ve lost my only way) See the shape (Broken and thrown away)
I′d give it all away Come take it all away You can′t resent the fear Somebody tell me How I got here I′d give it all to you Come take it It′s all for you The noise is so damn loud But everything else is just Dust and sound
I don′t wanna do this anymore Everything′s sh*t Everything′s been taken Forsaken Gotta start it over ′Cause I′m hearing it backwards Don′t make sense Don′t feel better Who′s better? It′s not that simple You gotta figure it out before You make things difficult It′s not a word It′s a problem The problem was easy Draw your conclusions Solutions? Anybody else wanna run? Contorting, distorting I am undone One less propaganda Nightmare fixture Are you getting the picture?
She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak I′ve been locked inside your Heart Shaped box for a week I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back
Hey Wait I′ve got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Hey Wait I′ve got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Hey Wait I′ve got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet Cut myself angel′s hair and baby′s breath Broken hymen of your highness I′m left black Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back
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

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 nothin′ 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, the shape of my heart That′s not the shape, the shape of my heart
She reminds me of the one in school When I was cuttin′ She was dressed in white And I couldn′t take my eyes off her But that′s not what I took off that night
She′ll never cover up what we did with her dress, no She said kiss me It′ll heal But it won′t forget Kiss me It′ll heal But it won′t forget
And I don′t mind you keepin′ me On pins and needles If I could stick to you And you stick me too
Don′t break Don′t break my heart And I won′t break your heart-shaped glasses Little girl, little girl You should close your eyes That blue is getting me high
Don′t break Don′t break my heart And I won′t break your heart-shaped glasses Little girl, little girl You should close your eyes That blue is getting me high And making me low That blue is getting me high And making me low
She reminds me of a one I knew That cut up the negatives of my life I couldn′t take my hands off her She wouldn′t let me be anywhere but inside
And I don′t mind you keepin′ me On pins and needles If I could stick to you And you stick me too
Just don′t break Don′t break my heart And I won′t break your heart-shaped glasses Little girl, little girl You should close your eyes That blue is getting me high
Don′t break Don′t break my heart And I won′t break your heart-shaped glasses Little girl, little girl You should close your eyes That blue is getting me high And making me low
She′ll never cover up what we did with her dress, no She said kiss me It′ll heal But it won′t forget Kiss me It′ll heal But it won′t forget
I don′t mind you keepin′ me On pins and needles If I could stick to you And you stick me too
Don′t break Don′t break my heart And I won′t break your heart-shaped glasses Little girl, little girl You should close your eyes That blue is getting me high
Don′t break Don′t break my heart And I won′t break your heart-shaped glasses Little girl, little girl You should close your eyes That blue is getting me high And making me low
She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak I′ve been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks I′ve been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back (Alt: ... when you turn black)
Hey! Wait! I′ve got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Hey! Wait! (Alt: Hate! Haight!) I′ve got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Hey! Wait! I′ve got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Your advice
Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet Cut myself on angel′s hair and baby′s breath Broken hymen of your highness I′m left black Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

I′ve Always Kept To Myself I′ve Always Been A Model Citizen I′ve Always Kept My Nose Clean I′ve Always Stayed Out Of Your Business
Bit My Tongue When I Should′ve Said Something About The Shape You′re In
I′ve Always Kept To Myself I′ve Always Let You Have Your Privacy I′ve Always Kept My Hands Clean No One Could Beat Your Secret Out Of Me
Bit My Tongue When I Should′ve Said Something About The Shape You′re In
Except For The Time I Didn′t Except For The Time That I Didn′t Rely On The Feelings Inside Except For The Time That I Didn′t Deny A Worthy Reply...Except For The Time
I′ve Always Kept To Myself I′ve Always Been A Model Citizen I′ve Always Kept My Nose Clean I′ve Always Stayed Out Of Your Private Business
I live my life in chains Got my hands in chains And I can′t stick with the cards That I got with a deal Like this I must insist That a girl′s got more to do Than be the way you think a woman should I′m taking it into my own hands In this man′s land I can understand Why I′m taking command Had enough of stuff And now it′s time to think about me, me yeah
[Bridge]
And you can easily gamble your life away Second after second And then day by day You play the game or you walk away It′s a new turn on a blue day And a cool deal at life for me And it′s all good
[Chorus]
I know that the spades are the swords of the soldiers 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 2:]
I′ve always played it safe nothing′s ever safe Give me the courage to back my own convictions Every decision I make I pay it back and more Now turn the cards and let them fall to me Cos I don′t need to play on with the hand that they have given me I′ll give it back cos it′s not the way it has to be
[Bridge]
And you can easily gamble your life away Second after second And then day by day You play the game or you walk away It′s a new turn on a blue day And a cool deal at life for me And it′s all good
[chorus]
I know that the spades are the swords of the soldiers 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
[bridge]
That′s not the shape The shape of my heart My heart That′s not the shape of my heart
And you can easily gamble your life away Second after second And then day by day You play the game or you walk away It′s a new turn on a blue day
And you can easily gamble your life away Second after second And then day by day You play the game or you walk away It′s a new turn on a blue day And a cool deal at life for me And it′s all good
[chorus]
I know that the spades are the swords of the soldiers 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...
