Scared of losing all the time He wrote it in a letter He was a friend of mine He heard you could see your future Inside a glass of water The ripples and the lines And he asked \"Will I see heaven in mine?\"
That is just the way it was Nothing could be better And nothing ever was Oh they say you can see your future Inside a glass of water The riddles and the rhymes Will I see heaven in mine? Oh oh oh oh I Son don't ask Neither half full or empty Is the glass
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 Television 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 half full or empty Is your glass
Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living in the past Going nowhere fast
Oh what are we drinking when we're done? Glasses of water
