Your Most Valuable Possession Lyrics - Ben Folds Five

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
