Hey Timothy
I wish for clairvoyance
I wanna see my wife and kids
And how I will live and how I will die
(Son you should!)
It's out of fright
It's self-absorption
I wanna learn from my mistakes
Before they can scare me away from the drugs
(Son you should!)
I picture a man who misses his father
He never learned to cook for himself
And spends all his time on his waistline
(Son you should invest!)
I picture a man who lives in the past
He keeps a book of photographs
Of his younger self, clairvoyant self
(Son you should invest!)
I wish for clairvoyance
I wanna see my wife and kids
And how I will live and how I will die
(Son you should!)
It's out of fright
It's self-absorption
I wanna learn from my mistakes
Before they can scare me away from the drugs
(Son you should!)
I picture a man who misses his father
He never learned to cook for himself
And spends all his time on his waistline
(Son you should invest!)
I picture a man who lives in the past
He keeps a book of photographs
Of his younger self, clairvoyant self
(Son you should invest!)

He's trying to see the future because he's afraid and he sees himself hiding in the past. He's accepted that he's being self-absorbed, and sees himself living forever self-absorbed, but in the form of missing all he had/was. (Maybe?)
It's like... just knowing the future won't fix or help you improve life. Son you should invest.
He Poos Clouds is a concept album based on the eight schools of magic in Dungeons and Dragons (I don't remember all their names, you can find them elsewhere... probably wikipedia), plus two songs (--> and The Pooka Sings) to round out the album. Owen frequently introduces this song when he plays live as "School of magic number 5: divination."
