《Mrs. Potters Lullaby》歌词

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

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

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

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

[00:00:26] Anyone at the party

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

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

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

[00:00:44] You can never escape

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

[00:00:49] Down the coast

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

[00:00:58] Of fortune and fame

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

[00:01:08] Through circles of flame

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

[00:01:16] Into the distance

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:19] I said

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

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

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

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

[00:03:45] And the lovesick rejections

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

[00:03:55] All the razor perceptions

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:28] Dust sparkle jet stream

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

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

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

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

[00:04:49] That movie screen

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

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

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

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

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

[00:05:30] And orders another

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:06:04] This bowl of stars

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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