歌曲歌詞
Well i woke up in mid-afternoon
Cause that's when it all hurts the most
I dream i never know
Anyone at the party
And i'm always the host
If dreams are like movies
Then memories are films about ghosts
You can never escape
You can only move south
Down the coast
Well i am an idiot walking a tightrope
Of fortune and fame
I am an acrobat swinging trapezes
Through circles of flame
If you've never stared off
Into the distance
Then your life is a shame
And though i'll never forget your face
Sometimes i can't remember my name
Hey mrs potter don't cry
Hey mrs potter i know why but
Hey mrs potter won't you talk to me
Well there's a piece of maria
In every song that i sing
And the price of a memory
Is the memory of the sorrow it brings
And there is always one last light
To turn out and one last bell to ring
And the last one out of the circus
Has to lock up everything
Or the elephants will get out
And forget to remember what you said
And the ghosts of the tilt-a-whirl
Will linger inside of your head
And the ferris wheel junkies
Will spin there forever instead
When i see you a blanket of stars
Covers me in my bed
Hey mrs potter don't go
I said
Hey mrs potter i don't know but
Hey mrs potter won't you talk to me
All the blue light reflections that color
My mind when i sleep
And the lovesick rejections
That accompany the company i keep
All the razor perceptions
That cut just a little too deep
Hey i can bleed as well as anyone
But i need someone to help me sleep
So i throw my hand into the air
And it swims in the beams
It's just a brief interruption of the swirling
Dust sparkle jet stream
Well i know i don't know you
And you're probably not what you seem
But i'd sure like to find out
So why don't you climb down off
That movie screen
Hey mrs potter don't turn
Hey mrs potter i burn for you
Hey mrs potter won't you talk to me
When the last king of hollywood shatters
His glass on the floor
And orders another
Well i wonder what he did that for
That's when i know that i have to get out
Cause i have been there before
So i gave up my seat at the bar
And i head for the door
We drove out to the desert
Just to lie down beneath
This bowl of stars
We stand up in the palace
Like it's the last of the great pioneer town bars
We shout out these songs
Against the clang of electric guitars
You can see a million miles tonight
But you can't get very far
Oh you can see a million miles tonight
But you can't get very far
Hey mrs potter i won't touch
Hey mrs potter it's not much but
Hey mrs potter won't you talk to me
Hey mrs potter won't you talk to me
Hey mrs potter won't you talk to me
