Absolute Zero - Bruce Hornsby, Jack DeJohnette

Time is stopped

And I’m floating there on air

I can watch myself, my head is elsewhere

I’m suspensed, suspended in mid-air

But surprise, surprise I’m still here, so there

Cognition is a billion years ago somewhere

Let’s slip out of this life we know, into some timeless repose

Hey, come on, let’s go

Down to two seventy-three below

Let’s go sliding down the scale

Way down, down beyond the veil

I’ll be feeling fine at absolute zero

Memory, identity, on another self-plane

And you will be sustained (With cryo-preservatives)

Robotize, enzymes, nucleotides, in time

Vitrification

Brain-edit, you will get it, if you let it

Frozen

Hey, come on, let’s go

Down to two seventy-three below

Let’s go sliding down the scale

Way down, down beyond the veil

I’ll be feeling fine at absolute zero

Time re-starts

Another chance, it maybe better next time

We’ll be minus a hundred and ten

Maybe that’ll do just fine

Low temps, slow metabolism down and then

We will stop the gradual slide

For centuries end on end

Frozen to solid

For a hundred years and then emerge

You will re-encounter yourself

Oh, what a lovely fantasy turn

Hey, come on, let’s go

Down to two seventy-three below

Let’s go sliding down the scale

Way down, down beyond the veil
