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
