Mrs. Potters Lullaby - Counting Crows[00:00:00]

Well i woke up in mid-afternoon[00:00:15]

Cause that's when it all hurts the most[00:00:18]

I dream i never know[00:00:24]

Anyone at the party[00:00:26]

And i'm always the host[00:00:28]

If dreams are like movies [00:00:35]

Then memories are films about ghosts[00:00:37]

You can never escape [00:00:44]

You can only move south[00:00:47]

Down the coast[00:00:49]

Well i am an idiot walking a tightrope[00:00:54]

Of fortune and fame[00:00:58]

I am an acrobat swinging trapezes[00:01:04]

Through circles of flame[00:01:08]

If you've never stared off[00:01:14]

Into the distance [00:01:16]

Then your life is a shame[00:01:18]

And though i'll never forget your face[00:01:24]

Sometimes i can't remember my name[00:01:27]

Hey mrs potter don't cry[00:01:35]

Hey mrs potter i know why but[00:01:40]

Hey mrs potter won't you talk to me[00:01:45]

Well there's a piece of maria[00:01:54]

In every song that i sing[00:01:57]

And the price of a memory[00:02:05]

Is the memory of the sorrow it brings[00:02:07]

And there is always one last light[00:02:14]

To turn out and one last bell to ring[00:02:17]

And the last one out of the circus[00:02:24]

Has to lock up everything[00:02:28]

Or the elephants will get out[00:02:34]

And forget to remember what you said[00:02:37]

And the ghosts of the tilt-a-whirl[00:02:44]

Will linger inside of your head[00:02:48]

And the ferris wheel junkies[00:02:55]

Will spin there forever instead[00:02:57]

When i see you a blanket of stars[00:03:05]

Covers me in my bed[00:03:08]

Hey mrs potter don't go[00:03:15]

I said[00:03:19]

Hey mrs potter i don't know but[00:03:20]

Hey mrs potter won't you talk to me[00:03:25]

All the blue light reflections that color[00:03:35]

My mind when i sleep[00:03:38]

And the lovesick rejections[00:03:45]

That accompany the company i keep[00:03:47]

All the razor perceptions[00:03:55]

That cut just a little too deep[00:03:57]

Hey i can bleed as well as anyone [00:04:04]

But i need someone to help me sleep[00:04:07]

So i throw my hand into the air[00:04:15]

And it swims in the beams[00:04:18]

It's just a brief interruption of the swirling[00:04:24]

Dust sparkle jet stream[00:04:28]

Well i know i don't know you[00:04:35]

And you're probably not what you seem[00:04:37]

But i'd sure like to find out[00:04:45]

So why don't you climb down off[00:04:47]

That movie screen[00:04:49]

Hey mrs potter don't turn[00:04:55]

Hey mrs potter i burn for you[00:05:00]

Hey mrs potter won't you talk to me[00:05:05]

When the last king of hollywood shatters[00:05:20]

His glass on the floor[00:05:23]

And orders another[00:05:30]

Well i wonder what he did that for[00:05:32]

That's when i know that i have to get out[00:05:40]

Cause i have been there before[00:05:43]

So i gave up my seat at the bar[00:05:50]

And i head for the door[00:05:53]

We drove out to the desert[00:05:59]

Just to lie down beneath[00:06:02]

This bowl of stars[00:06:04]

We stand up in the palace[00:06:10]

Like it's the last of the great pioneer town bars[00:06:12]

We shout out these songs[00:06:19]

Against the clang of electric guitars[00:06:22]

You can see a million miles tonight[00:06:30]

But you can't get very far[00:06:33]

Oh you can see a million miles tonight[00:06:39]

But you can't get very far[00:06:43]

Hey mrs potter i won't touch[00:06:50]

Hey mrs potter it's not much but[00:06:55]

Hey mrs potter won't you talk to me[00:07:00]

Hey mrs potter won't you talk to me[00:07:10]

Hey mrs potter won't you talk to me[00:07:20]
