lyrics

I was in my boss's office
Fumbling through paper
Seeking a form of registration
For a fingerprinting session
Mandated by state government
For all public employees
Been putting this off for months
It's time to get my act together
Then you called me on my cell phone
I was flustered when you did so
You talked with power and conviction
Complete emotional control
You said your brother was in hospice
He wouldn't last for too long
Some sort of complication
From a surgery last winter
Then you cornered my attention
And said you'd lived a life complete so
After 94 years you
Could ask for nothing more so I should
Not be sad
When you die

about

The Michael Character Boston, Massachusetts

It's political music, whatever. Based in Boston, MA. Absolutely willing to drive very far to play for you and five of your vaguely alternative friends in your combination kitchen/laundry room. Hit me up. I'm fully serious.
