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 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 ha-lo at all                Television selling plastic figur-ines 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 the 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 ?
