Lyrics of Mrspotter's lullaby

Well i woke up in mid-afternoon cause that's when it all hurts the most
I dream i never know anyone at the party and i'm always the host
If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts
You can never escape, you can only move south down the coast

Well, i am an idiot walking a tightrope of fortune and fame
I am an acrobat swinging trapezes through circles of flame
If you've never stared off into the distance then your life is a shame
And though i'll never forget your face,
Sometimes i can't remember my name

Hey mrs. potter don't cry
Hey mrs. potter i know why but
Hey mrs. potter won't you talk to me

Well, there's a piece of maria in every song that i sing
And the price of a memory is the memory of the sorrow it brings
And there is always one last light to turn out and one last bell to ring
And the last one out of the circus has to lock up everything

Or the elephants will get out and forget to remember what you said
And the ghosts of the tilt-a-whirl will linger inside of your head
And the ferris wheel junkies will spin them forever instead
When i see you a blanket of stars covers me in bed

Hey mrs. potter don't go
I said hey mrs. potter i don't know but
Hey mrs. potter won't you talk to me

All the blue light reflections that color my mind when i sleep
And the lovesick rejections that accompany the company i keep
All the razor perceptions that cut just a little too deep
Hey i can bleed as well as anyone, but i need someone to help me sleep

So i throw my hand into the air and it swims in the beams
It's just a brief interruption of the swirling dust sparkle jet stream
Well, i know i don't know you and you're probably not what you s
