Mrs. Potters Lullaby Counting Crows

[00:15.08] Well, I woke up in mid-afternoon 'cause that's when it all hurts the most
[00:24.57] I dream I never know anyone at the party and I'm always the host
[00:34.72] If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts
[00:43.22] You can never escape, you can only move south down the coast
[00:54.57] Well, I am an idiot walking a tightrope of fortune and fame
[01:04.56] I am an acrobat swinging trapezes through circles of flame
[01:14.84] If you've never stared off into the distance, then your life is a shame
[01:24.76] And though I'll never forget your face
[01:27.51] Sometimes I can't remember my name
[01:35.46] Hey Mrs. Potter, don't cry
[01:40.28] Hey Mrs. Potter, I know why but
[01:45.36] Hey Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me?
[01:55.15] Well, there's a piece of Maria in every song that I sing
[02:05.23] And the price of a memory is the memory of the sorrow it brings
[02:14.24] And there is always one last light to turn out and one last bell to ring
[02:24.91] And the last one out of the circus has to lock up everything
[02:34.88] Or the elephants will get out and forget to remember what you said
[02:44.84] And the ghosts of the tilt-a-whirl will linger inside of your head
[02:54.99] And the ferris wheel junkies will spin there forever instead
[03:04.83] When I see you, a blanket of stars covers me in my bed
[03:15.48] Hey Mrs. Potter, don't go
[03:20.01] I said, hey Mrs. Potter, I don't know but
[03:25.36] Hey Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me?
[03:35.15] All the blue light reflections that color my mind when I sleep
[03:44.96] And the lovesick rejections that accompany the company I keep
[03:54.82] All the razor perceptions that cut just a little too deep
[04:04.55] Hey, I can bleed as well as anyone
[04:07.63] But I need someone to help me sleep
[04:15.02] And so I throw my hand into the air and it swims in the beams
[04:24.74] It's just a brief interruption of the swirling dust sparkle jet stream
[04:35.30] Well, I know I don't know you and you're probably not what you seem
[04:45.00] But I'd sure like to find out
[04:47.31] So why don't you climb down off that movie screen
[04:55.62] Hey Mrs. Potter, don't turn
[04:59.54] Hey Mrs. Potter, I burn for you
[05:05.60] Hey Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me?
[05:17.88] When the last king of Hollywood shatters his glass on the floor
[05:30.17] And orders another, well, I wonder what he did that for
[05:40.05] That's when I know that I have to get out 'cause I have been there before
[05:50.00] So I gave up my seat at the bar and I head for the door
[05:59.33] We drove out to the desert just to lie down beneath this bowl of stars
[06:10.04] We stand up in the palace like it's the last of the great pioneer town bars
[06:20.16] We shout out these songs against the clang of electric guitars
[06:30.19] You can see a million miles tonight
[06:33.08] But you can't get very far
[06:40.10] Oh, you can see a million miles tonight
[06:43.19] But you can't get very far
[06:50.86] Hey Mrs. Potter, I won't touch you
[06:55.74] Hey Mrs. Potter, it's not much but
[07:00.69] Hey Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me?
[07:10.89] Hey Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me?
[07:20.93] Hey Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me?
[07:35.60]
