shalalalalaalaa yeah
I was down at the NewAmsterdam
staring at this
yellow haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
with this black haired
flamenco dancer
She dances while his father plays guitar
She's suddenly beautiful
We all want something beautiful
I wish I was beautiful
So come dance this silence
down through the morning
shalalalalalaaalaa
Cut up, Maria!
Show me some of them
Spanish dances
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Believe in me
Help me believe in anything
I want to be someone who believes
Mr. Jones and me
tell each other fairy tales
Stare at the beautiful women
"She's looking at you. Ah,
no, no, she's looking at me."
Smiling in the bright lights
Coming through in stereo
When everybody loves you,
you can never be lonely
I will paint my picture
Paint myself in
blue, red and black and gray
All of the beautiful colors
are very very meaningful
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 look into the future
Stare at the beautiful women
"She's looking at you.
I don't think so. 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
i will never be..
..lonely
I want to be a lion
Everybody wants to pass as cats
We all want to be big big stars
but we got different reasons for that
Believe in me
because I
don't believe in anything
and I
want to be someone to believe
to believe
to believe, ..yeah
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 want to be Bob Dylan
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone
just a little more funky
When everybody loves you, 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 want to be big stars,
but we don't know why
and we don't know how
But when everybody loves me,
I'm going to be..
just about as happy as I can be
Mr. Jones and me,
we're gonna be big stars...
