COUNTING CROWS - MR. JONES Lyrics

Sha la la la la la la..... hmm, uh huh...I was down at the New Amsterdam staring at this yellow-haired girlMr. Jones strikes up a conversation with a black-haired flamenco dancerShe dances while his father plays guitarShe's suddenly beautifulWe all want something beautifulMan I wish I was beautifulSo come dance this silence down through the mornin'Sha la la la la la la la yeah.. uh huh, yeah...Cut up, Maria! Show me some of that Spanish dancin'yeah, but, Pass me a bottle, Mr. JonesBelieve in meHelp me believe in anything'Cause I wanna be someone who believesYeah...Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy talesAnd we stare at the beautiful women"She's looking at you. Ah, no, no, she's looking at me."Smiling in the bright lightsComing through in stereoWhen everybody loves you, you can never be lonelyWell, I'm gonna paint my picturePaint myself in blue and red and black and grayAll of the beautiful colors are very very meaningfulYeah, well, you know gray is my favorite colorI felt so symbolic yesterdayIf I knew PicassoI would buy myself a gray guitar and playMr. Jones and me look into the futureYeah, we stare at the beautiful women"She's looking at you. I don't think so. She's looking at me."Standing in the spotlightI bought myself a gray guitarWhen everybody loves me, I'll never be lonelyI'll never be lonelySon, I'm never gonna be lonelyI wanna be a lionE-Everybody wants to pass as catsWe all wanna be big big stars, yeah, but we've got different reasons for thatBelieve in me 'cause I don't believe in anythingand I, I wanna be someone to believe, to believe, to believe,yeahMr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrioYeah we stare at the beautiful women"She's perfect for you, Man, there's got to be somebody for me."I wanna be Bob DylanMr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funkyWhen everybody loves you, oh, son, that's just' bout as funky as you can beMr. Jones and me staring at the videoWhen I look at the television, I wanna see me staring right back at meWe all wanna be big stars, but we don't know why and we don't know howBut when everybody loves me, I'll be just' bout as happy as I could beMr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars.
