Michael Lyrics

Michael lyrics

michael, where are you now? 



somehow in my excitement the last time you
called,

it slipped again to ask your hidden whereabouts

i got a lead
from your old triple ex-girlfriend, she said

"i heard he lost his mind
again"

"again?" i said

i didn't know that you ever did




michael, where are you now? 



sleeping through the morning in
flannel impaired

getting high in southern air

shoeless, sandy eveing
down the unfamiliar

last whiff of salt-water freedom

skipping shells in
the dead zone

with the ghost on your side

of the state
borderline

whispering

"take it. . ." 



do you remember our
first subway ride?

our first heavy metal haircuts?

our last swim on the
east coast?

and me with my ridiculous looking pierced nose?

i remember
your warm smile in the sun

the daydreaming boy without a shirt on

the
birmingham barfly father

left the mother of three sons

you're the
oldest juvenile delinquent bum

my best friend
