D-DU-UDU
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 rhymes
And he asked 'Will I see heaven in mine?'
Oh 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?
Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-I
Son, don't ask,
Neither how full nor empty is your glass
Cling to the mast
Spend your whole life living in your past
Going nowhere fast
So he wrote it on a wall
The hollow-est of halos is no halo at all
Televisions selling plastic
Figurines of leaders saying nothing at all
And we chimed, stars in heaven align
Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-I
Son, don't ask,
Neither how full nor empty is your glass
Cling to the mast
Spend your whole life living in your past
Going nowhere fast
- - - - (fade on )
And what are we drinking when we're done?
Glasses of water.
End on D.
