[00:00.00]Micheline - Sun Kil Moon
[00:18.52]Micheline used to come to our house
[00:21.67]And knock on our door
[00:26.28]My dad would answer and say
[00:28.02]"What do you want girl"
[00:29.29]And she'd say
[00:30.46]"Can I take a bath with Mark"
[00:34.24]My dad would say
[00:35.30]"My son ain't here"
[00:37.31]Send her home and shut the door
[00:39.41]And we'd all laugh
[00:42.16]And Micheline would walk down the street glowing
[00:45.17]And smiling like she just got
[00:46.93]Paul McCartney's autograph
[00:50.20]Her brain worked a little slower than the others;
[00:54.19]She wore thick-rimmed glasses
[00:57.99]She took a different bus to school than other kids
[01:01.74]And was in different kid of classes
[01:04.81]When she got older a neighborhood thug
[01:08.93]Moved in with her
[01:10.32]And started taking her welfare payments
[01:13.87]He took her down to the bank
[01:15.81]Helped her withdraw her savings
[01:17.83]That was put away for her
[01:19.39]And he went off with it
[01:21.87]The cops caught up with him
[01:23.37]He did a little time and cut too many years later
[01:29.48]He's doing life in a Florida penitentiary with his father
[01:34.08]Both of them for murder

[02:00.91]My friend Brett
[02:01.85]My friend Brett
[02:02.59]My friend Brett
[02:03.56]My friend Brett
[02:04.69]He liked to play the guitar
[02:08.61]But he had an awkward way of playing
[02:10.68]Barre chords with two fingers spreading his index
[02:14.00]And middle fingers really far apart
[02:16.43]One day in band practice he dropped like a deer
[02:19.23]Was shot and was flipping around like a fish
[02:24.05]He had an aneurysm triggered by a nerve
[02:27.15]In his hand from the strain he was putting on it
[02:32.34]I went to see him in Ohio; he had a horseshoe
[02:36.55]Shaped scar on his scalp and he talked real slow
[02:40.09]We played pool like we did in our teens
[02:43.41]And his head was shaved
[02:45.12]And he still wore bell-bottomed jeans
[02:47.85]In '99 I was on tour in Sweden when I called home
[02:55.77]To tell my mom that I got a part in a movie
[02:58.55]When she said"Mark
[03:00.04]There's something that you need to know"
[03:03.96]"Brett died the other day you really
[03:06.30]Should send a letter to his mom and dad
[03:09.08]" And I got on my train in Malmo
[03:13.64]And looked out at the snow feeling somewhere
[03:16.69]Between happy and sad

[03:50.56]Before she passed away we'd go
[03:52.15]And visit her at my aunt's house when I was small
[03:58.23]I couldn't bear the shape
[04:00.23]She was in so at the top of the driveway
[04:02.90]I'd sit in the car
[04:06.10]One day I was just f**king around
[04:08.60]When I put it in reverse and I was free-falling
[04:13.94]I remember the car moving backwards;
[04:18.11]My heart was beating and I blacked out
[04:22.17]Another car was coming down the street and
