Your Most Valuable Possession by Ben Folds Five

6.49 a.m, Friday November Twentieth

Good morning, Mr. Ben it's about 6:30
Winston, Salem, North Carolina
I'm just laying here in the bed
Half awake, half asleep thinking about you

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, 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
Because 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 all right
I'm, I'm going to wake up here in a little while
And forget what I was thinking about
