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 rhymes
He asked 'Will I see heaven in mine?'
Oh that is just the way it was,
and nothing could be better,
and nothing ever was.
Oh he said you could see a future,
inside a glass of water,
With riddles and the rhymes
He asked 'Will I see heaven in mine'
Ooooh, oooh, ooooh ...
Stop, don't ask,
Neither how full or empty is your glass,
Cling to the mast
Spend your whole life living in your past
Going nowhere fast
And that is just the way it was
Hollowest needles… ...no more on the cards
And television set the past
a finger go to Venus come somewhere aside and run..
for stars in heaven tonight!
Ooooh, oooh, ooooh ...
Stop, don't ask,
Neither how full or empty is your glass,
Cling to the mast
Spend your whole life living in your past
Going nowhere fast
And what I'll be drinking when we're done?
Just glasses of water
