Michael Stipe Songtext / Lyric

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
