[Verse 1]
Once I was born, it was back when I was very young
Seems to me it was the year before I first turned one
[Chorus]
Something's freezing at my heel, I don't care to know
It may be that I'm reaching absolute zero
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
I wrote a poem and I 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 wrong
By the time the tune was done, the whole crowd had up and gone
[Chorus]
There's something's freezing at my heels, I don't care to know
It may be that I'm reaching absolute zero
