Intro: |
I was down at the New Amsterdam |
Staring at this yellow-haired girl |
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation |
With a black-haired flamenco dancer |
You know she dances |
While his father plays guitar |
She's suddenly beautiful |
And we all want |
Something beautiful |
Man, I wish I was beautiful |
So come dance the silence down |
Through the morning |
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la, yeah |
Uh huh, yeah |
Cut up, Maria |
Show me some of |
Them Spanish dances |
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones |
Believe in me |
Help me believe in anything |
'Cause I wanna be someone |
Who believes |
Yeah |
Mr. Jones and me |
Tell each other fairy tales |
And we stare at the beautiful women |
She's looking at you |
Ah, no, no, she's looking at me |
Smilin' in the bright lights |
Coming through in stereo |
When everybody loves you |
You can never be lonely |
Well, I'm gon' paint my picture |
Paint myself in blue and |
Red and black and gray |
All of the beautiful colors are |
Very, very meaningful |
Yeah, well, you know |
Gray is my favorite color |
I felt so symbolic yesterday |
If I knew Picasso |
I would buy myself |
A gray guitar and play |
Mr. Jones and me |
Looked into the future |
And we stare at the beautiful women |
She's looking at you |
Ah, no, no, she's looking at me |
Standing in the spotlight |
I bought myself a gray guitar |
When everybody loves me |
I will never be lonely |
I will never be lonely |
Said I'm never gonna be lonely |
I wanna be a lion |
Yeah, everybody wanna pass as cats |
We all wanna be big, big stars |
Yeah, but we got |
Different reasons for that |
Believe in me |
'Cause I don't believe in anything |
And I wanna be someone to believe |
To believe, to believe |
Bridge: |
x4 |
Mr. Jones and me |
Stumbling through the barrio |
Yeah, we stare at |
The beautiful women |
She's perfect for you |
Man, there's got to be somebody |
For me |
I wanna be Bob Dylan |
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone |
Just a little more funky |
When everybody loves you, ah son |
That's just about as funky |
As you can be |
Mr. Jones and me |
Staring at the video |
When I look at the television |
I want to see me |
Staring right back at me |
We all wanna be big stars |
But we don't know why |
And we don't know how |
But when everybody loves me |
I'm wanna be just about |
As happy as I can be |
Mr. Jones and me |
We're gonna be big stars |
