Well I wokeA up in mid afternoDon 'cause that's when it alEl hurts the most A*
I dream I Anever know anyone at the parDty and I'm al-Eways the host A*
If dreamC#ms are like movies then memoDries are films about ghosts A*
You can Enever escape, you can onDly move south down the coast A*
Well I am an Aidiot walking a tightDrope of forEtune and fame A*
I am an aAcrobat swinging trapDezes through cirEcles of flameA*
If you've C#mnever stared off into the disDtance then your life is a shA*ame
And though I'll nevEer forget your face sometimesD I can't remember my A*name
He--C#my, MisDsus. PotAter, don't cry E
He--C#my, MisDsus. PotAter, I know Ewhy, but
He--C#my, MisDsus. PotEter, won't you Dtalk to mA*e
And there's a piAece of Maria in Devery songE that I sing A*
And the priAce of a memory is the memoDry of the sorErow it brings A*
And there is aC#mlways one last light to turnD out and one last bell to rA*ing
And the laEst one out of the cirDcus has to lock up everything A*
Or the eleAphants will get out and forDget to rememEber what you said A*
Oh and the ghostsA of the tilt-o-whirl will Dlinger insEide of your heaA*d
Oh and the FerC#mris wheel junkies will spin Dthere forever instead A*
And when I seEe you, a blanket of stDars covers me in my bA*ed
He--C#my, MisDsus. PotAter, don't go,E I said
He--C#my, MisDsus. PotAter, I don'tE know, but
He--C#my, MisDsus. PotEter, won't you Dtalk to mA*e
All the blue Alight reflections that Dcolor my mindE when I sleep A*
And the loveAsick rejections that accomDpany the comEpany I kA*eep
All the raC#mzor perceptions that cut Djust a little too deep A*
Hey, I can bleEed as well as anyone but I need Dsomeone to help me sleep A*
So I thrAow my hand into the airD and it swimsE in the beams A*
It's just a briefA interruption of the swirlDing dust sparEkle jet stream A*
Well I know C#mI don't know you and you're probDably not what you seA*em
Aw, but I'd Esure like to find out so why don't you Dclimb down off that movA*ie screen
He--C#my, MisDsus. PotAter, don't turn, E
He--C#my, MisDsus. PotAter, I buErn for you
He--C#my, MisDsus. PotEter, won't you Dtalk to mA*e A*
When the laAst king of Hollywood Dshatters his glassE on the flooAr
And orders another well, I woF#m7nder what heE did that for A*
That's when I knC#mow that I haAve to get out cause ID haveA beenD there Abefore A*
So I gave Eup my seat at the bar Dand I head for the door. A*
We drove oAut to the desert just to lDie down beneath thEis bowl of stars A*
We stand uAp in the Palace, like it's the lDast of the great pioEneer town bars A*
Aw, we shout C#mout these songs against the clDang of electric guitars A*
Well, you can see a Emillion miles tonight, but yDou can't get very far A*
Aw, you can see a Emillion miles tonight, but yDou can't get very far A*
He--C#my, MisDsus. PotAter, I won'tE touch and
He--C#my, MisDsus. PotAter, it'sE not much but
He--C#my, MisDsus. PotEter, won't you Dtalk to mA*e
He--C#my, MisDsus. PotEter, won't you Dtalk to mA*e
He--C#my, MisDsus. PotEter, won't you Dtalk to mA*e
