Scared of losin' 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 with 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, son, don't ask. Neither how full nor empty is your glass. Cling, to the mast. spending 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, son, don't ask. Neither how full nor empty is your glass. Cling, to the mast. spending your whole life living in the past.

Going nowhere fast.

What are we drinking when we're done? Glasses of water.
