This song made use of what was at the time cutting edge technology: quadrophonic sound. The idea was that with four speakers arranged around the listener, the sound would move around them as the song went on.
[Verse 1]
Got no silver for my pocket
Got no pillow for my head
And the winter it gets stronger
Got to ease my aching head
[Verse 2]
In the morning when I wake up
Got this feeling deep inside
And I wonder if I'm dying
Or I'll go out
Go out of my mind
