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
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

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke
You're broke
Your lovelife's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your
year

*But I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

You're still in bed at ten,
and work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast
So far, things are goin' great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to
yourknees
that

*Repeat

No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Seems you're the only one who knows, what it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst I'm best with you
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your
year

*Repeat

I'll be there for you I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you...
('CAUSE YOU'RE THERE FOR ME TOO)

Yeah

I've been tryna call

I've been on my own for long enough

Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe

I'm going through withdrawals

You don't even have to do too much

You can turn me on with just a touch, baby

I look around and

Sin City's cold and empty (Oh)

No one's around to judge me (Oh)

I can't see clearly when you're gone

I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights

No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch

I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night

Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust

Hey, hey, hey

I'm running out of time

'Cause I can see the sun light up the sky

So I hit the road in overdrive, baby, oh

The city's cold and empty (Oh)

No one's around to judge me (Oh)

I can't see clearly when you're gone

I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights

No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch

I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night

Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust

I'm just walking by to let you know (By to let you know)

I can never say it on the phone (Say it on the phone)

Will never let you go this time (Ooh)

I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights

No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights

No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
