Ben Folds Five Your Most Valuable Possession Lyrics

Your Most Valuable Possession Lyrics

6:49 A.M. Friday, November 20



Good morning, Mr. Ben, it's about 6:30

Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Just laying here in the bed, half awake, half asleep

Thinking about you, uh



I was, uh, wondering if you were looking after your

Most valuable possession, your mind

I was thinking about John Glenn

His space journey and all



They said that when you're in space

You lose muscle mass and the body mass

And I wondered if there was any end to it

Or whether if you didn't exercise in space



How long it would be for you were just

A head or a mind and have no body or arms

You would have them

But you couldn't use them



I was wondering if, uh

If your body mass would drop to a certain level

And then it would stop right there

And keep whatever you needed to use your mind



'Cause it would still be working

Thirty seconds remaining

Anyway, I was just pondering that

What do you think about that?



I hope everything is going alright

I'm going to wake up here in a little while

And forget what I was thinking about
