Just laying here in the bed, half-awake, half-asleep Thinking about you I was wondering if you were looking after your most valuable possession— Your mind! That’s from a song called “Your Most Valuable Possession” on the Ben Folds Five album The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner. The lyrics are just some ramblings that my father, the same Dean Folds who urged me to measure twice, left on my answering machine as we were recording that album. He was on a lot of cough medicine, he says.
