Between the Zero and the One

When they sat down at the Ouija board He could feel her fingers move Trying to find their future with her hands Turning to the spirit world Looking for some cosmic clue In a language that they both might understand But she wasn't looking for a remedy She knew she'd break his heart She just wanted to go quietly Like it was written in the stars But it all comes out eventually No matter how hard you resist That might be a harsh reality But that's the only kind there is It's not the whisper in your ear It's not banging of the drum It's not the person that you were It's not the person you become It's not where you're headed to And it's not where you're coming from The only life you're gonna live Is out between the zero and the one Out between the zero and the one When she shuffled all the tarot cards He could see her stack the deck But still turned up the tower and the moon Well, she did try to disregard And clutch that crystal 'round her neck While they both felt a presence leave the room And he finally saw the difference Between her history and her past How she's been looking for deliverance From something she will never grasp She even had the nerve to tell him That she tried hard as she could It's like she never even loved him As much as the reasons why she should It's not the whisper in your ear It's not banging of the drum It's not the person that you were It's not the person you become It's not where you're headed to And it's not where you're coming from The only life you're gonna live Is out between the zero and the one Out between the zero and the one Out between the zero and the one Out between the zero and the one So she'll mistake these superstitions For the excuses that she needs To keep explaining her condition To the few friends she could keep But don't give them another thought There's no need for us to dwell They are fine and they are not Just like everybody else Yeah, like everybody else It's not the whisper in your ear It's not banging of the drum It's not the person that you were It's not the person you become It's not where you're headed to And it's not where you're coming from The only life you're gonna live Is out between the zero and the one Is out between the zero and the one Out between the zero and the one
