Zeroes And Ones Lyrics - Singles - 7 Mary 3

And she talks to her television 

Changing channels with her mind 

When this new world turns politic 

She just slips in between their sighs 

And we talk when the talking is good 

Saying over and over 

We should run while the running is run down 

And I know forgiveness tastes like dry salt in your mouth 

I temper all the alcohol with names that I do not say out loud 

There's a cloud that hangs around my house 

Electric signals, zeroes and ones 

They accompany the Headline News 

With hairpin turns and domestic bombs 

And I look when the looking is good 

But I can't ever uncover 

All the faces I turned away slowly turned into one another 

I have made my decision to hang around inside 

And I can't get to the places that I want to go from where I hide 

No, I can't get to the places that I want to go from where I hide 

Believe the path is round 

Over and over 

A peaceful underground 

Hiding from the numbers 

Believe in living cells 

I know you're heavy bored 

Belief in peace invents 

A man with a heart of gold 

Peace, don't betray me now 

I'll find you out, empty corners of a restless mind 

I have made my illusions bend 

I bury them when I shut my eyes 

I would hold hands if holding was good 

If it could hold us together 

Zeroes and ones, zeroes and ones 

Yes, your name's become a number 

And I have made my decision to hang around inside 

And I can't get to the places that I want to go from where I hide 

You can't get to the places that you want to go from where you hide 

I'll never find the places that I want to go from where I hide 

I can't get to the places that I want to go from where I hide
