Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Michael Stipe
And I tonight
Michael Stipe
And I cry tonight
[Verse 2]
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
Neil said it was full of famous stars
Hell, I was driving Martin Landau's car
[Chorus]
Michael Stipe
And I tonight
Michael Stipe
And I cry tonight
[Verse 3]
We said goodbye to John's al fresco
Of the 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
[Chorus]
Michael Stipe
And I tonight
Michael Stipe
And I cry tonight
