[Intro]
'Ello, everybody

[Verse 1]
Scared of losing all the time
You 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, "Would I see Heaven in mine?"
That is just the way it was
Nothin' could be better
Oh, and nothin' 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

[Chorus]
Son, don't ask
Neither how full nor empty is your glass
Goin' nowhere fast

[Verse 2]
So he wrote it on a wall
The hollowest of halos
Is no halo at all
Televisions sellin' plastic figurines of leaders
Sayin' nothin' at all
And we chime
Stars in heaven align
Oh, oh, oh, oh I
[Chorus]
Son, don't ask
Neither how full nor empty is your glass
Cling to the mast
Spend your whole life livin' in the past
Goin' nowhere fast

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Everybody okay?
What are we drinkin' when we're done?
Just glasses of water
Yeah
Thank you
