| 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 |
