What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Well I woke up in mid-afternoon cause that's when it all hurts the most
2
I dream I never know anyone at the party and I'm always the host
3
If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts
4
You can never escape, you can only move south down the coast
5
Well, I am an idiot walking a tightrope of fortune and fame
6
I am an acrobat swinging trapezes through circles of flame
7
If you've never stared off into the distance then your life is a shame
8
And though I'll never forget your face,
9
Sometimes I can't remember my name
10
Hey Mrs. Potter don't cry
11
Hey Mrs. Potter I know why but
12
Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me
13
Well, there's a piece of Maria in every song that I sing
14
And the price of a memory is the memory of the sorrow it brings
15
And there is always one last light to turn out and one last bell to ring
16
And the last one out of the circus has to lock up everything
17
Or the elephants will get out and forget to remember what you said
18
And the ghosts of the tilt-a-whirl will linger inside of your head
19
And the Ferris wheel junkies will spin them forever instead
20
When I see you a blanket of stars covers me in bed
21
Hey Mrs. Potter don't go
22
I said hey Mrs. Potter I don't know but
23
Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me
24
All the blue light reflections that color my mind when I sleep
25
And the lovesick rejections that accompany the company I keep
26
All the razor perceptions that cut just a little too deep
27
Hey I can bleed as well as anyone, but I need someone to help me sleep
28
So I throw my hand into the air and it swims in the beams
29
It's just a brief interruption of the swirling dust sparkle jet stream
30
Well, I know I don't know you and you're probably not what you seem
31
Aw, but I'd sure like to find out
32
So why don't you climb down off that movie screen
33
Hey, Mrs. Potter, don't turn
34
Hey, Mrs. Potter, I burn for you
35
Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me
36
When the last king of Hollywood shatters his glass on the floor
37
And orders another. well, I wonder what he did that for
38
That's when I know that I have to get out cause
39
I have been there before
40
So I gave up my seat at the bar and I head for the door. Yeah.
41
We drove out to the desert just to lie down beneath this bowl of stars
42
We stand up in the Palace,
43
Like it's the last of the great pioneer town bars
44
Aw, we shout out these songs against the clang of electric guitars
45
Well, you can see a million miles tonight
46
But you can't get very far
47
Aw, you can see a million miles tonight
48
But you can't get very far
49
Hey, Mrs. Potter, I won't touch and
50
Hey, Mrs. Potter, it's not much but
51
Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me
52
Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me
53
Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me
