The Crystal Palace

My new favorite song...

Mrs. Potter's Lullaby
by Counting Crows.
 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...

I think the person that wrote this is a genius.


 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...

Why didn't we study lines like this in school?

 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 there forever instead
When I see you, a blanket of stars covers me in my bed...


amazing, don't you agree ~b
