Michael, where are you now?

Michael, where are you now?



Smile at my excitement

The last time you called

I slipped again to ask you

From whereabouts

I got a lead from your old triple-ex-girlfriend

She said I heard he lost his mind again

I said I didn't know that you ever did



Michael, where are you now?

Michael, where are you now?



Sleeping through the mornings in flannel and hair

Getting high in the Southern air

Surely send the evenings down the unfamiliar

The last to feel the salt water feeling

Skipping the shadows in the dead zone

With the ghost on your side

Of the state's borderline

Of whispering



Take it

Take it

Take it

Take it

Take it



Do you remember the first subway ride?

Our first heavy metal haircut?

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 burning ambers fly father

Left the mother of three sons

You're the oldest juvinile delinquent boy



My best friend
