[Verse 1]

Once I was born

It was back when I was very young

It seems to me it was the year before

I first turned one

[Chorus]

And there's something freezing at my heels

That I don't care to know

And it may be that I'm reaching

Absolute zero

[Verse 2]

Wrote a poem

Sent it all the way from home

Said I felt a little vacant

Just like standing all alone

I sang a song

A song that wasn't hardly long

But by the time the tune was done

The whole crowd had up and gone

[Chorus]

And there's something freezing at my heels

That I don't care to know

And it may be that I'm reaching

Absolute zеro
