Lyrics
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?
Glasses of water
