Michael

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 juvenile delinquent boy My best friend
