Jzero:

Well I ain't got nothing.

But it don't worry me

I came to this life like a free-walking tree

No need to be tied, no need to be--

They call me Jzero

Well I ain't got nothing

And to nothing I belong

You won't find me right,

Yet you won't find me wrong

If you think about me,

Don't thing too long--

Jus' call me Jzero.

Well I don't house no past

Never carried a key

My sun doesn't rise from under the sea

There is only one morning

Eternally...dee d'lee d'lee

Polygons:

Well he says he hasn't got nothing

But he seems to possess less

He waltzed through the door

Like a tapdance with death

What kind of fool is he?

Jzero:

No need to guess, jus' call me Jzero.

Well I don't eat a lot

I do work for nothing so

If there's a job I can fill the gap

I don't need a room, bed or pillow oh

Once you've decided to trust me with time

You won't need to look back...

A doo de doo de doo

Well I ain't got nothing,

But it don't worry me

I came to this life like a free-walking tree

No need to be tied, no need to be--
