  • Once upon a time
    Not so long ago
    People used to stand and stare
    At the spider with the platinum hair
    They thought you were immortal

    We had our ups and downs
    Like brothers often do
    But I was there for him
    He was always there for me
    And we were there for you

    How can I put into words
    What my heart feels?
    It's the deepest thing
    When somebody you love dies

    I just wanted
    To give something back to you
    Gift to gift
    Michael, michael picasso good night

    You used to love our house
    You said it was relaxing
    Now I walk in the places you walk
    I talk in all the spaces you talk
    It still hasn't sunk in

    Are the words real
    That come into my head
    On a morning walk?
    Do the shadows
    Play tricks with my mind?

    For it feels like
    Nothing has changed
    But I know it has
    Michael, michael picasso
    Good night

    Heal me
    Won't you
    Heal me?
    Nothing lasts forever
    Set me free

    Heal me
    Won't you
    Heal me?
    I'm the one who's left here
    Heal me
    Heal me
    Heal me

    You turned into a ghost
    Surrounded by your pain
    And the thing that I liked the least
    Was sitting 'round hasker street
    Lying about the future

    And we all sit
    In a room full of tears
    On a windy day
    And I looked out
    But none of these words seem right

    I just wanted
    To give something back to you
    Gift to gift
    Michael, michael picasso
    Good night
