Michael Stipe Songtext
von P

I finally talked to Michael Stipe
He touched me on my arm
I met him up in the Hollywood Hills
Among the movie and TV stars

I finally met old Michael that day
I met the girl in his videos too
Sofia Coppola looked at me
I didn′t know what the hell to do

Michael Stipe
And I tonight
Michael Stipe
And I cry tonight

I finally talked to Michael Stipe
But I didn't get to see his car
Him and River Phoenix were
Leaving on the road tomorrow


I finally met old Michael that day
Up the Laurel Canyon way
Niel said it was full of famous stars
Hell I was driving Martin Landau′s car

Michael Stipe
And I tonight
Michael Stipe
And I cry tonight

We said goodbye to John Alfresco
At his Chateau Marmont suite
We couldn't find a part, not a piece of our hearts
I guess we all had a lot better things to see

I think I'll go back to Texas soon
Leave these Hollywood Hills
Shoot myself dead with a gun to my head
That′s what this town would have me do

Michael Stipe
And I tonight
Michael Stipe
And I cry tonight
