Scared of losing all the time
You wrote it in a letter
He was a friend of mine
He heard you could see your future
Inside a gla** of water
The ripples and the lines
And he asked, would I see heaven in mine?
That is just the way it was
Nothing could be better
And nothing ever was
Oh and they say you can see your future
Inside a gla** of water
The riddles and the rhymes
Will I see heaven in mine?
Oh Oh Oh Oh I
Son, don't ask
Neither how full nor empty is your gla**
Cling to the mast
Spend your whole life living in the past
Going nowhere fast
So he wrote it on a wall
The hollowest of halos
Is no halo at all
Televisions selling plastic figurines of leaders
Saying nothing at all
And you chime
Stars in heaven align
Oh Oh Oh Oh I
Son, don't ask
Neither how full nor empty is your gla**
Cling to the mast
Spend your whole life living in the past
Going nowhere fast
Oh what are we drinking when we're done?
Gla**es of water
