words and music by Dan Smullyan

we're playing hearts
and it's 2 am
i wanna win it
and then you deal the cards and i look at them
i think a minute
i see some aces and kings and the queen of spades
i think i'll go for it all
there'll be no bluffing or masquerades
i'll fly or baby i'll fall
Chorus:
shoot the moon, shoot it shoot it
shoot the moon, do it right
shoot the moon, shoot it shoot it
it's a heavenly flight
i lead a diamond and you throw a club
my head is spinning
because the thing is timing in this game called love
the thrill is winning
i'll give you strings of diamonds
till your clubs are gone
i want a piece of your heart
trick after trick i'll keep pouring it on
until you're coming apart [chorus]
hearts are broken and i know you're
mine
you can't resist me
you leave the door wide open
and the full moon shines
come here and kiss me
you've got a wild card waiting in your birthday suit
it shows all over your face
i've got a moon rocket ready to shoot
we're blasting off into outer space [chorus]
