I've been wondering what to do
I'd give anything to talk to you
I've been thinking some peaceful thoughts
Open windows and hear four knots

Michael, I've been a sad case
Michael, I've been a sad case

When St. Louis turns off its lights
I will talk to you through the night
We won't break anybody's backs
Let's just keep our eyes on the cracks

Michael, I've been a sad case
Michael, I've been a sad case

It takes a lot of time
And it takes a little bit of cryin'
To get your mind off
It takes a lot of time
And it takes a little bit of cryin'
To get your mind off

I've been walking past the place
In West Florence, an avenue
None of them remember me
And none of them remember you

One thing at a time goes
Through my mind
One thing at a time goes
Alright

It takes a lot of time
And it takes a little bit of cryin'
To get your mind off
It takes a lot of time
And it takes a little bit of cryin'
To get your mind off

Michael, I've been a sad case
Michael, I've been a sad case

Wide awake while someone counts the minutes
Happiness, Missouri, I got to get your mind off
By the way, I told you we were in this
Happiness, Missouri, I got to get your mind off

Wide awake while someone counts the minutes
Happiness, Missouri, I got to get your mind off
By the way, I told you we were in this
Happiness, Missouri, I got to get your mind off

People are nice
They go easy on us, but
I'm on the Sun today

I murder each
Try to pinch my cheeks
Cause you're making me wanna stop

Wide awake while someone counts the minutes
Happiness, Missouri, I got to get your mind off
By the way, I told you we were in this
Happiness, Missouri, I got to get your mind off
