Verse Thanks for calling Mister Michael But he's not feeling well His back is aching, heart is breaking You've reached a private hell Bridge I choose to be alone, embracing my defeat The game was over years ago, is victory so sweet Verse Thanks for calling Mister Michael Right now he cannot speak His empty life is past redemption His will to live is weak Bridge There's nothing in my head, it's a rusting slipping gear My body stayed in bed but there's nobody here Tell me, where do the years go Blink an eye and they fly I don't wanna get hurt, so just skip hello And go straight to goodbye Straight to goodbye, goodbye Instrumental Verse Thanks for calling Mister Michael, waiting here to die Fragile Mister Lightning without the wings to fly Crush me for my chemicals, paint yourself to glow And watch my magic fade away, so sad to see it go, go Solo Verse Thanks for calling Mister Michael, Mister Everything Turn the television up so I can't hear the ring You could leave a message, but I'll only press erase You'd have to break my door down Come on, hate me to my face Tell me, where do the years go Blink an eye and they fly I don't wanna get hurt, so just skip hello And go straight to goodbye Outro Where do the years go You blink an eye and they fly by I don't wanna get hurt, so just skip hello And go straight to goodbye (Straight to goodbye) Tell me, where do the years go (Straight to goodbye) Tell me, where do the years go (Straight to goodbye) I'm just a freak in a sideshow Please just say it
