| 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 |

|
|
| 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 |
