Lisa Marie Presley's desperate plea for những người hâm mộ to bring thêm hoa to Michael Jackson's tomb must have fallen on deaf ears -- because as of today the entrance to the tomb was pretty bare.



Michael Jackson's ex-wife complained about too much "empty space" around the singer's tomb on her MySpace page yesterday -- and urged những người hâm mộ to fill the void with lots of sunflowers ... but obviously that didn't happen.

những người hâm mộ have since fired back, claiming they've been faithfully doing their part flowers-wise since MJ died last year.

Verse 1:
Looking out
Across the nighttime
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear her voice
Shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs

Verse 2:
Get me out
Into the nighttime
Four walls won't hold me tonight
If this town
Is just an apple
Then let me take a bite

Chorus:
If they say
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
if they say-
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way

Verse 3:
Reaching out
To touch a stranger
Electric eyes are ev'rywhere
See that girl
She knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare

Chorus

I like lovin' this way
I like lovin' this way

Verse 4:
Looking out
Across the morning
Where the city's tim, trái tim begins to beat
Reaching out
I touch her shoulder
I'm dreaming at the Street

Chorus

Everyday I think of you,
like your charm, your face,
just everything.
But the thing I think of the most
is that smile of yours.
Everytime I see it,
my tim, trái tim skips a beat
and my thoughts get Mất tích in it.
Your smile gives me butterflys in my stomach.
Your smile makes thiên thần sing, a song that fills the streets.
Without that smile,
there is no joy in this world.
No one can replace it.
There is no mistake that when bạn smile,
that wonderful, beautiful smile,
the world turns into a better place.

I was wandering in the rain
Mask of life, feelin' insane
Swift and sudden fall from grace
Sunny days seem far away Kremlin's shadow belittlin' me
Stalin's tomb won't let me be
On and on and on it came
Wish the rain would just let me
How does it feel (How does it feel)How does it feel
How does it feel
When you're alone
And you're cold inside
Here aband oned in my fame Armageddon of the brain
KGB was doggin' me
Take my name and just let me be
Then a begger boy called my name
Happy days will drown the pain
On and on and on it came
And again, and again, and again... Take my name and just...

He Knew.

Years cách đây Michael and I were having a deep conversation about life in general.

I can't recall the exact subject matter but he may have been questioning me about the circumstances of my Fathers Death.

At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, "I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did."

I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that.

14 years later I am sitting here...
