| [00:14.94] |
One, two, one, two, three, four |
| [00:15.63] |
Well, I woke up in mid-afternoon |
| [00:17.82] |
'Cause that's when it all hurts the most |
| [00:24.12] |
I dream, I never know anyone at the party |
| [00:28.47] |
And I'm always the host |
| [00:34.65] |
If dreams are like movies |
| [00:36.96] |
Then memories are films about ghosts |
| [00:44.49] |
You can never escape |
| [00:47.13] |
You can only move south, down the coast |
| [00:54.75] |
Well, I am an idiot walkin' |
| [00:57.00] |
A tightrope of fortune and fame |
| [01:04.17] |
I am an acrobat swingin' trapezes |
| [01:08.01] |
Through circles of flame |
| [01:14.46] |
If you've never stared off in to the distance |
| [01:18.21] |
Then your life is a shame |
| [01:20.37] |
And though I'll never forget your face |
| [01:27.30] |
Sometimes, I can't remember my name |
| [01:35.10] |
Hey, Mrs. Potter don't cry |
| [01:40.11] |
Hey, Mrs. Potter I know why but |
| [01:45.09] |
Hey, Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me |
| [01:49.29] |
Well, there's a piece of Maria |
| [01:57.69] |
In every song that I sing |
| [02:04.74] |
And the price of a memory |
| [02:07.08] |
Is the memory of the sorrow it brings |
| [02:10.11] |
And there is always one last light |
| [02:17.37] |
To turn out and one last bell to ring |
| [02:24.78] |
And the last one out of the circus |
| [02:28.32] |
Has to lock up everything |
| [02:34.26] |
Or the elephants will get out |
| [02:37.11] |
And forget to remember what you said |
| [02:44.70] |
And when the ghosts of the tilt-a-whirl |
| [02:47.76] |
Will linger inside of your head |
| [02:54.69] |
And when the Ferris wheel junkies |
| [02:57.30] |
Will spin there forever instead |
| [03:04.68] |
When I see you, a blanket of stars |
| [03:08.49] |
Covers me in my bed |
| [03:15.24] |
Hey, Mrs. Potter don't go |
| [03:19.74] |
I said,"Hey Mrs. Potter I don't know" |
| [03:24.99] |
But, hey, Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me |
| [03:34.80] |
All the blue light reflections |
| [03:37.83] |
That color my mind when I sleep |
| [03:44.85] |
And the lovesick rejections |
| [03:47.28] |
That accompany the company I keep |
| [03:54.84] |
All the razor perceptions |
| [03:57.27] |
That cut just a little too deep |
| [04:04.38] |
Hey, I can bleed as well as anyone |
| [04:07.35] |
But I need someone to help me sleep |
| [04:14.73] |
And so, I throw my hand into the air |
| [04:19.71] |
And it swims in the beams |
| [04:24.42] |
It's just a brief interruption |
| [04:27.33] |
Of the swirlin' dust sparkle, jet stream |
| [04:34.92] |
Well, I know I don't know you |
| [04:37.59] |
And you're probably not what you seem |
| [04:40.65] |
Oh, but I'd sure like to find out |
| [04:47.07] |
So why don't you climb down off that movie screen |
| [04:55.38] |
Hey, Mrs. Potter don't turn |
| [05:00.42] |
Hey, Mrs. Potter I burn for you |
| [05:05.46] |
Hey, Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me |
| [05:19.89] |
When the last king of Hollywood |
| [05:22.89] |
Shatters his glass on the floor and orders another |
| [05:32.67] |
Well, I wonder what he did that for |
| [05:40.02] |
That's when I know that I have to get out |
| [05:42.72] |
'Cause I have been there before |
| [05:49.95] |
So I gave up my seat at the bar and I head for the door, yeah |
| [05:59.61] |
We drove out to the desert |
| [06:02.34] |
Just to lie down beneath this bowl of stars |
| [06:09.81] |
We stand up in the palace |
| [06:12.12] |
Like it's the last of the great pioneer town bars |
| [06:19.71] |
Oh we shout out these songs against |
| [06:22.74] |
The clang of electric guitars |
| [06:25.23] |
Yeah, you can see a million miles tonight |
| [06:32.82] |
But you can't get very far |
| [06:40.02] |
Oh, you can see a million miles tonight |
| [06:42.90] |
But you can't get very far |
| [06:50.55] |
Hey, Mrs. Potter I won't touch and |
| [06:55.68] |
Hey, Mrs. Potter it's not much but |
| [07:00.42] |
Hey, Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me |
| [07:10.56] |
Hey, Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me |
| [07:20.58] |
Hey, Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me |
