[Verse 1]
Got a chart up on the laptop and a deck upon the bar
Green candles and red candles shinin' like a neon star
The suits on Wall Street read the numbers, read the news
But I read the cards and Spirit when I'm pickin' what to choose
[Verse 2]
I shuffle while the market opens, coffee in my hand
Pull a card for every ticker like the old ones planned
Pentacles mean money and the Wands mean fire and growth
And when the Swords come out, partner, I'll be careful on 'em both
[Chorus]
Cards and candlesticks, cards and candlesticks
Paul Hesch is readin' every pick
The market's got a spirit and the spirit's got a say
Cards and candlesticks, I'm readin' 'em today
[Verse 3]
Got a buddy in a suit who laughs at what I do
Says there ain't no magic in the market, son, it's true
But he called me up last Tuesday, said, Paul, what's your read
'Cause the charts were lookin' cloudy and he needed what I see
[Chorus]
Cards and candlesticks, cards and candlesticks
Paul Hesch is readin' every pick
The market's got a spirit and the spirit's got a say
Cards and candlesticks, I'm readin' 'em today
[Verse 4]
Now I ain't sayin' tarot is a guarantee of gold
You still gotta do your homework, still gotta be bold
But a little intuition and a little bit of grace
Can help you read the weather in a crazy, wild place
[Verse 5]
So grab your deck and grab your chart and grab your cup of joe
Let the logic and the Spirit both tell you where to go
'Cause the smartest kind of trader that I've ever come to meet
Has one eye on the numbers and one ear to the beat
[Chorus]
Cards and candlesticks, cards and candlesticks
Paul Hesch is readin' every pick
The market's got a spirit and the spirit's got a say
Cards and candlesticks, I'm readin' 'em today
