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

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a King
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

THAT ARIZONA SKY BURNING IN YOUR EYES
YOU LOOK AT ME AND, BABE, I WANNA CATCH ON FIRE
IT'S BURIED IN MY SOUL LIKE CALIFORNIA GOLD
YOU FOUND THE LIGHT IN ME THAT I COULDN'T FIND
SO WHEN I'M ALL CHOKED UP
BUT I CAN'T FIND THE WORDS
EVERY TIME WE SAY GOODBYE
BABY, IT HURTS
WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN
AND THE BAND WON'T PLAY
I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER US THIS WAY
LOVERS IN THE NIGHT
POETS TRYING TO WRITE
WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO RHYME
BUT, DAMN, WE TRY
BUT ALL I REALLY KNOW
YOU'RE WHERE I WANNA GO
THE PART OF ME THAT'S YOU WILL NEVER DIE
SO WHEN I'M ALL CHOKED UP
BUT I CAN'T FIND THE WORDS
EVERY TIME WE SAY GOODBYE
BABY, IT HURTS
WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN
AND THE BAND WON'T PLAY
I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER US THIS WAY
OH, YEAH
I DON'T WANNA BE JUST A MEMORY, BABY, YEAH
WHEN I'M ALL CHOKED UP
BUT I CAN'T FIND THE WORDS
EVERY TIME WE SAY GOODBYE
BABY, IT HURTS
WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN
AND THE BAND WON'T PLAY
I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER US THIS WAY, OH, YEAH
WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME
AND THE WHOLE WORLD FADES
I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER US THIS WAY
