Michael

Michael where are you now

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

Michael where are you now

Sleeping through the morning in flannel impaired

Getting high in southern air

Shoeless sandy evening 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
Take it

Take it

Take it

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
