Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was down the New Amsterdam
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
[Verse 2]
So come dance this silence down
Through the morning
Cha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, get 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
[Verse 3]
Mr. Jones and me
Tell each other fairy tales
Stare at the, all beautiful women
She's looking at you
Oh, no, she's looking at me
Smiling in the bright lights
Coming through in stereo
When everybody loves you, you
You can never be lonely
[Verse 4]
I will paint my picture
Paint myself in blue and red, and black and grey
All of the beautiful colors are very
Very meaningful
Grey's my favorite color
I felt so symbolic yesterday
If I knew Picasso
I would buy myself a grey guitar and play
[Verse 5]
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 grey guitar
When everybody loves me
I will never be lonely
[Verse 6]
I want to be a lion
Everybody want 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, I wanna be someone to believe
To believe
[Verse 7]
Mr. Jones and me
Stumbling through the barrio
Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women
She's perfect for you, man
There's gotta be somebody for me
I wanna be Bob Dylan
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
When everybody loves you, son
That's just 'bout as funky as you can be
[Verse 8]
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 gonna be
Just about as happy as I can be
[Verse 9]
Mr. Jones and me
We're gonna be a big star
