00:11Well, I woke up in mid-afternoon
00:15Cause that's when it all hurts the most
00:20Yeah, I dream I never know anyone at the party
00:25And I'm always the host
00:31If dreams are like movies
00:34Then memories are films about ghosts
00:41You can never escape
00:44You can only move south down the coast
00:50Well, I am an idiot
00:53Walking a tightrope of fortune and fame
01:01I'm an acrobat
01:03Swinging trapezes through circles of fame
01:11If you've never stared off into the distance
01:15Then your life is a shame
01:21Though I'll never forget your face
01:25Sometimes I can't remember my name
01:32Hey, Mrs. Potter, don't cry
01:36Hey, Mrs. Potter, know why
01:42But hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me?
01:51There's a piece of Maria
01:54In every song that I sing
02:01And the price of memory
02:04Is the memory of the sorrow it brings
02:12There is always one last light to turn out
02:16And one last bell to ring
02:22And the last one out of the circus
02:26Has to lock up everything
02:32Or the elephants will get out
02:35And forget to remember what you said
02:42And the ghosts of a tilted world
02:45Will linger inside of your head
02:52The fair swim junkies will spin there forever instead
03:02When I see your blanket of stars
03:06The fair swim junkies will spin there forever instead
03:07Cause I'll be in my bed
03:13Hey, Mrs. Potter, don't go
03:17Hey, Mrs. Potter, don't go
03:18Hey, Mrs. Potter, don't know
03:23But hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me?
03:29Oh, the blue light reflections
03:35The color of my mind when I sleep
03:42And all the love-sick rejections
03:45That accompany, the company I keep
03:52All the razor perceptions
03:55That cut just a little to a tree
04:02I can bleed as well as anyone
04:05I just need someone to help me sleep
04:12So I throw my hand into the air
04:16And it swims in the beam
04:22It's just a brief interruption
04:25And the swirling dust sparkles down the street
04:33Well, I know I don't know you
04:35And you're probably not what you see
04:43Yeah, but I sure like to find out
04:45So why don't you climb down on that movie screen
04:54Hey, Mrs. Potter, don't turn
04:58Hey, Mrs. Potter, don't burn for you
05:04Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me?
05:10Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me?
05:28And he orders another
05:31And I wonder what he did that for
05:38That's when I know
05:40That I have to get out
05:42Because I have been there before
05:49So I gave up my seat at the bar
05:51And I head for a door
05:58We drove out to the desert
06:01Just to lie down beneath this bowl of stars
06:08We stand up in the palace
06:11Like it's the last of the great pioneer town mall
06:18We shout out these songs
06:21Against the clang of electric guitar
06:28You can see a million miles tonight
06:31But you can't get very far
06:38So you can see a million miles tonight
06:42But you can't get very far
06:49Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't touch it
06:54Hey, Mrs. Potter, it's not much
06:59But hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me?
07:09Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me?
07:19Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me?
