[Verse] Michael set sail one stormy night With a grin so wide it could ignite He said the world was his to see And more Oh more If you know what I mean [Chorus] Oh Michael oh Michael where have you been Your wandering ways are a tale of sin From the hills to the valleys to the ocean's spray Your compass pointed every way [Verse 2] Tingri nights under moonlit skies His stories grew as he opened his flies He danced in Thailand, not in vain Each time he'd vow not to love again [Prechorus] But there he’d go Onward bound Chasing ladies town to town [Chorus] Oh Michael oh Michael where have you been Your wandering ways are a tale of sin From the hills to the valleys to the ocean's spray Your compass pointed every way [Verse 3] Manila nights in the sweaty heat He never knew who he might meet He danced in India, not in vain Each time he'd vow not to love again [Prechorus] But there he’d go Onward bound Chasing ladies town to town [Chorus] Oh Michael oh Michael where have you been Your wandering ways are a tale of sin From the hills to the valleys to the ocean's spray Your compass pointed every way [Bridge] Years rolled by like a ship in the mist Adventures faded he clenched his fist Time took its toll but the fire grew fierce And at 85, he had his compass pierced
