Verso: Scared of losin' all the time He wrote it on a letter He was a friend of mine He heard you could see your future Inside a glass of water With ripples and the lines He asked 'Will I see heaven in mine Oh that is just the way it was, and nothing could be better, and nothing ever was. Oh he said you could see your future, inside a glass of water, With riddles and the rhymes 'Will I see heaven in mine Oh, oh, oh Son don't ask, Neither how full or empty is your glass, Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living in your past Going nowhere fast So he wrote it on a wall that the hollowest of halos is no halo at all And television selling plastic figurines of leaders saying nothing at all And we chime 'Stars in heaven, align!' Oh, oh, oh Son don't ask, Neither how full or empty is your glass, Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living in your past Going nowhere fast And what I'll be drinking when we're done? Just glasses of water
