Glass of Water

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 With ripples and the rhymes And he asked, "Will I see Heaven in mine?" That is just the way it was And 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, ah Son, don't ask neither how full nor empty is your 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 Televisions selling plastic figurines of leaders, saying nothing at all And you chime, "Stars in Heaven align" Oh, oh, oh, oh, ah Son, don't ask neither how full nor empty is your glass Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living in the past Going nowhere fast And what are we drinking when we're done?
